James Udy
Edit ProfileCareer
Jim Udy was a Methodist minister, and one of three brothers who became ministers of religion. James married Anne Benua after meeting on a European bike tour that he took and together they had six children. Udy offered himself for service as a chaplain immediately after his ordination at Melbourne in January 1945.
After his arrival on the island of Morotai with an engineer unit, he organised the construction of a chapel, which was dedicated on 25 July.
Shortly afterwards, Udy was posted to 2/26 Supply Depot Company on the island of Labuan, where, after the Japanese surrender, another chapel (built to the same plans as the first) was constructed by 2/14 Works Unit. During this period, Chaplain Udy worked extensively with repatriated Prisoners of War, and with their Japanese former captors.
