Edward P. Lowry

Edward P. Lowry was a British author best known for With the Guards' Brigade from Bloemfontein to Koomati Poort and Back, published in 1902. Contemporary title information identifies him as the Senior Wesleyan Chaplain with the South African Field Force, and the book is a firsthand narrative of the Boer War.

Available reference material also identifies him as Rev. Edward Pearce Lowry, born in 1843. Beyond that, the most clearly confirmed picture is of a minister writing from direct experience in the field, combining religious duty with close observation of soldiers on campaign.

For listeners interested in memoir, military history, or eyewitness writing from the British Empire period, Lowry offers a grounded view of war as it was lived day by day rather than remembered from a distance.
