Barbara:

Sadly there's no general account of their experiences, just my father's article
on baking (for an audience that really knew its yeast fermenting times!) and a
few odds and ends. I'll email them to you.

One of the letters is interesting because it shows the HK Government were
preparing for a Japanese attack as early as November 1938. Selwyn-Clarke defends
them against charges of leaving everything to the last minute by saying
preparations began with the outbreak of the war in Europe, but it seems that it
was at least a year before that (although I don't know how much was done at this
stage).

Thanks for posting the notice. I've read transcripts or summaries many times but
never dreamt I'd see an image of the original. So lucky for us that it was you
who acquired it!

this at the time, but not the heartbreaking details.
