John “Ramp” Bowen

Hi, i’m looking to get in touch with the relatives of Bombadier John William Bowen 836361 of the Royal Artillery, served in Hong Kong, survived the sinkining of the Lisbon Maru and P.o.W of the Japanese. I believe he was from the Midlands area. Can anyone help?

Thanks

 

Hi Woodcarver

Might be useful to have a few more relevant details about him, date of birth, place of birth, date of death, parents names, wifes name etc etc just to help indentify him more easily

Thanks Fellas, i’ve done the liberation questionaire, index card, date of birth, marrage ect. This is kinda a last attempt in hope that a member of his family might be a member.
