Private
Ernest Edward Lawrence Warwick
Suffolk Regiment
4th Battalion
Japanese POW
Aged 23 he was captured in Singapore and spent 3 years and eight months a prisoner, working on the infamous Siam to Burma railway.
Ever since Ernest had nightmares of this torturous time, and in 1985 he wrote the novel Tamajeo 241 as a dedication to his fallen comrades, and for the world to know the truth.
Died
Aged 90
14th January 2009.
Ernest was a survivor and battled to the end, as we all know any one that survived the Death Railway had to be made of a strong constitution.
The family are very proud of Ernest and will miss him terribly.
