My brother-in-law (deceased) Arthur Charles Mainwaring Bowen was born on 24th March, 1922 on the family farm at Pontyberem, Carmarthen. His Father was Captain Arthur Pendragon Bowen, a Surveyor & Architect in the Royal Engineers, Sudan Defence Force. I never met Waring's father but I knew his Mother, Edith Helena (née Stephenson), also his 2 sisters. Arthur Pandragon Bowen was in both World Wars, but in 1940/41 while in the Sudan, where although he didn’t know it, his cousin was also serving!) he fell ill with some unknown tropical disease. Tropical medicine in Britain was in its infancy then and Sleeping Sickness – due to the Tsetse Fly was one of those that was rife in the Sudan at the time. During the early 1940’s the Mediterranean was far from safe for Allied shipping, so he was evacuated, probably through Anglo-Egyptian Sudan to the Red Sea where he was put on a hospital ship that had to sail round the Cape to return to Britain. It was said that the illness wouldn't have killed him if he had received full hospital care sooner but he died in hospital in England. We had men in the Sudan to prevent Italians from Abyssinia, Italian Somaliland and Eritrea from entering Sudan to go north to meet up with their German allies further north.

I have no photos of Arthur Pendragon Bowen but do of his wife, son (always known as Waring) youngest daughter, and his daughter-in-law (my sister).
