100 years old and a very nice man to meet, I helped him get his chair from the summer house so he could sit out. He kindly let me take his photo.
Colonel Geoffrey Alexander Rowley-Conwy is one of the region’s most colourful characters.
His is a remarkable story, for during World War II he was involved in an amazing episode in which he, then a Major, fled from Singapore when the Japanese took control of the island. He and 18 others refused to surrender and sailed 1,500 miles across the Bay of Bengal with few supplies in a frail sailing boat before reaching safety in Ceylon.
The venture was described in detail in the 1973 book Escape From the Rising Sun.
