26 Jul 1942, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp

About 50 internees with links to Shanghai are sent to that city. Some of the more senior manage to get themselves repatriated there on a ship taking off Allied Consular Officials.

 

'The worst stories of atrocities come from Hong Kong,' writes the (Glasgow) Sunday Post on page 1, picking up a story on the American repatriates. They note, however, that Stanley Camp's children are relatively well-treated and seem 'healthy and happy.'

In the evening we had a nice visit with Rev. Klein.

The 23rd has come and gone - I thought of you all day - next year we must be all together.  Glover has at last got away to Shanghai - I hope he arrives safely.  I shall miss him terribly here - I may try and change my room.    AIAW.   B.B.
