My husband's Gt. Uncle was in the Hong Kong Police and interned at Stanley camp; his name was Donald Brown. 

Just this weekend we have been handed some letters he wrote to his sister in India while he was a prisoner.

After the war he remained in the Police, eventually emigrating to New Zealand.

We'd be interested to hear anything about life in the camp, especially from anyone here with a connection to Donny or other Police internees.

I discovered on another website, that he may have been detained in Namking Hotel - does that rings bells with anyone here?

Tony Banham:

I can confirm that Mr Brown was at the Nanking Hotel before being transferred to Stanley.

In Stanley he shared room 12/30 with three other policemen.
