Frank Herbert Bowrey does not appear on the Jurors List. However, his name surfaces in the local newspapers around 1937. He was an accountant and a member of the Key-Posts group in the Hong Kong Defence Reserve.

During the Japanese occupation, he was interned at Stanley Camp. In 1943, permission was given by the Japanese authorities for him to be repatriated to Canada.  He travelled on the Teia Maru/Gripsholm and arrived in Canada in December 1943.

Note: Bowrey's surname was often misspelled as Bowery or Bowry. The latter name appears on the Gripsholm's passenger manifest and other websites.
