Missing: The Wartime Account of Two Brothers

Missing is the story of two brothers lost in two
different theatres of war. The story of two ordinary local lads and their extraordinary
contribution to the war effort.

Harry was a bomber command pilot in
1939-40. At a time when the fighter squadrons were rightly earning the
gratitude of a nation, Harry and his colleagues were carrying out no less a
service in their efforts to halt the advance of the German war machine across
Europe. Harry carried out observation and bombing missions against army and navy
targets in France and Norway. William, the older brother had joined the Royal
Artillery in 1930. After periods of duty in Aden and Hong Kong he was
transferred to Singapore in 1939. When the Japanese launched their ‘impossible’
attack on the jewel in Britain’s far eastern crown William was there waiting
for them … but not from the direction they came...

Hidden amongst the big stories of World War
Two are countless smaller ones, that are no less significant to those affected,
but are easy for us to overlook. A glass blower and a chemist in their civilian
lives, William and Harry Warman were not close. They lived separate lives and
fought in separate services but shared a similar fate. Under-equipped and
under-prepared they faced two powerful enemies and paid the ultimate price.
