The account of the life of Henry John Cowley (1898-1969) was sent to me by Keith Brewer, Henry John’s son in law, and is reproduced on this web site with his kind permission. It is, without doubt, one of the most moving and inspirational stories that I have come across whilst researching the Cowley family history.

The story was also published in the Sussex Family Historian, the quarterly magazine of the Sussex Family History Group.
