The last group of bankers and their families arrives in from town today - 17 British, 10 Dutch and 2 Norwegians according to the Red Cross, although George Gerrard's diary gives the British figure as 18.

The British contingent comprises G. A. Leiper and his wife Helen, the McClatchie, Davis and Perry families, H. F. Philips, Richard Olive, A. M. Mack and Mercantile Bank manager Harry Hawkins.

The Belgian bankers - at least three in number - are allowed to remain in town.
