Cecil Lowry is the son of a former Far Eastern Prisoner of War Hugh
Lowry. His father was taken prisoner of war on 15 February
1942.
He then spent three and a half years slaving on the infamous ‘Death
Railway’ in Thailand where he endured terrible treatment by the
Japanese.
In 2002 Cecil began to research his father’s time in the Far East,
resulting in the publication of three previous books under the Pen
and Sword Military imprint, No Mercy from the Japanese (with John
Wyatt, 2008), Last Post Over the River Kwai (2018) and Frank
Pantridge MC: Japanese Prisoner of War and Inventor of the Portable
Defibrillator (2020). He has also written Two Years of Tenko: Life
as a 16-year-old in a Japanese Prisoner of War Camp.
Cecil lives in Stockport.
