She lived in the French Convent in WW2 with her mother, who was a nurse there, and her sister Sylvia. As far as I can tell they never entered Stanley Camp, so must have spent the whole occupation in the Convent [update: they spent most of the occupation in Rosary Hill, see comments below]. The family are mentioned in Sheridan's account of his escape, where he describes moving to the French Convent in Feb 1942, and the nurses who were there:
The nurses are mostly Chinese, one Philipino and some Eurasians, a few French, and one English, Mrs Wood, wife of Capt. Wood R.A.S.C. who is interned in Sham Shui Po. Her two children, Rosemary and Sylvia are also here.
