Philip Toosey Age, Birthday, Zodiac Sign and Birth Chart

Brigadier Sir Philip John Denton Toosey was a prominent British Army officer during World War II, best known for his role as the senior Allied officer in the Japanese POW camp at Tha Maa Kham in Thailand. He led the camp while his men constructed Bridge 277 of the Burma Railway, which later inspired the book and film 'The Bridge on the River Kwai.' Unlike the fictional character portrayed in the film, Toosey did not collaborate with the Japanese, a fact that was a source of contention among former prisoners.
