G. R. Parvin

George Roland Parvin (20 July 1917 – 27 December 1997) was a director of IPC Business Press Ltd, at the end of his career. He was also made an MBE and appeared in the Queen's Birthday Honour list of June 1982.[1]

He served honorably during the Second World War in the Pacific theater. Eventually he was captured and made a POW by the Japanese Army. His war experiences were later published in a book that he personally authored called "Yasumai!" (1958, Digit Books). He told many of his war stories in the War Picture Library Illustrated Series published during the late '50s and early 60's

"Surreyman" positively confirms that all this is true. Working under George Parvin around the early 1960s, these verbal accounts were given and the book read. A most unassuming and totally likeable gentleman.
