Dr Molthen was later interned in Ma Tau Wai Internment Camp.
Gingle was also interned there, so it looks as though they stuck together.
Interesting. Does Henry know
Interesting. Does Henry know if the re-internment was voluntary?
Was re-internment voluntary?
Henry Ching writes:
I don’t think so. I believe a number of internees who had been released from Stanley under the sponsorship scheme were recalled and re-interned in Ma Tau Wai. One such was J.C.Ferguson – he had been interned in Stanley on his own, but was released to re-join his (Eurasian) family. On re-internment the whole family was included.
Thanks, Henry.Arthur May
Thanks, Henry.
Arthur May was finally interned in the summer of 1944 in Mau Ta Wai, having been free up until then. I wonder if this was when the Americans were sent in.
Died in 1967
