I haven't heard of the Gas-House Club before, so this is interesting to see. Please can you give us any more information about where the list comes from, or about the Club?

It looks to be a list of American men, as most of the names also appear on the List of American Internees in Stanley Camp, and where a name doesn't appear it looks as though it may have been a typing mistake, so:

  • 9. Davison = Davidson, F. L.
  • 18. Farnum = Farnham, Wesley C.
  • 19. Papas = Papaz, Charles M
  • 30. Walzer = Maltzer, J. H.

The List of American Internees only has one Bennett, "Bennett, Chester" so I'm not sure why the name Bennett appears twice in the list of Gas-House Inmates.

The list was likely compiled in early 1942, as at the end of June 1942, many of these men were repatriated to the USA on board the Gripsholm.
