Don, There are four lists I am aware of, none of which are perfect. The 'best' is the Greg leck / Ron bridges version. This is almost complete, with a handful...

Brian, Good question. I'm sure I've seen an authoritative note somewhere - maybe in BAAG files. Epstein's biography notes, when they met Reeves in Macau, that...
20.2.12 DAVID Some of the names on the list of internees compiled from my diary only show the surname (in those days we used to refer to adults older than...
Dear David I see that the list already mentions my father, Tim Fortescue, but does not mention my mother, Margery Fortescue, or my then infant brother (dob...
Dear All I seem to have mislaid the recent correspondence about how families were informed about their HK-based relations whereabouts after the Fall of HK. I...
Hi Diana, Glad to hear you'll help add some more names to the list. I've just written up a short explanation how to do it: http://gwulo.com/node/10407 regards,...
I count 3951 names shown for Stanley internees in Greg Leck's book. In the CWGC list I count only 2482, which misses 1469 names. Still, this many names been...

Dear Laura, My reading group here in Bath U.K. read this book about two years ago. None of the other members of my group have any connection or knew anything...
Thank you Tony. I believe the pass out of Stanley for a week at a time, is clearly fictionalized for the story line in the book and this is the opinion I will...
DIANA Yes, it will be interesting to hear about Sarah's programme. If you have read my August 1942 diary bits, you might wonder about mention of an internee...
Hi, Laura. I'm sure you're right to treat the 'week pass' as fictitious. In the Jones Diary for January 20 1945 there's 'Mrs Hardy to town', which is...
