While researching the Lowcock surname in Hong Kong, I came across Pilot Office Henry Lowcock who was a pilot in World War II.
In honor of his memory and service, I am sharing the information I discovered.
Pilot Officer Henry Christopher Lowcock
Birth: 10 April, 1894
Death: 1 November, 1943
Grave: Karachi War Cemetery (courtesy of Find a Grave)
Next of Kin: George Lowcock
Rank: Flying Officer
Service Number: 135065
Unit: Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve
Conflict: World War II
Other Notes:
Henry Lowcock was survived by his wife and children, including the Hong Kong schoolteacher, Sydney James Lowcock (1930–2012); Alwin (Alwyn) (Ally) Wong (1932–2019); and Jack Walter Lowcock (1939–2004). I have a detailed Lowcock Hong Kong family history page. The photo on this page is from Henry’s US passport application and according to my research he briefly lived in Wisconsin during the 1920s (possibly studying Engineering).
I find Henry’s history fascinating, as work has seen me live in Hong Kong and then in Wisconsin.
