James Ferrow

I used to visit David Ferrow’s book shop in Howard Street Sth, Great Yarmouth as he stocked shelves of historic books on Great Yarmouth and the Far East. We used to have a chat while I looked through the books and he told me his brother James was a PoW but died out there. I did some research and found his brother died after liberation when the plane taking him from Saigon to Rangoon crashed killing all on board. before I could relay my findings Mr Ferrow died:-
