With the 80th anniversary events at the Guiyang Chinese Red Cross Medical Relief Corp (CRC MRC) museum being planned, I am seeking additional evidence of Dr. Harry Talbot's involvement with the CRC MRC prior to his internment in Stanley Camp. Our goal is to include him on the monument of the international physicians who served with the MRC. We have the following evidence: In October 1938, Dr. Lim also wrote to Dr. Talbot that he would welcome his help in trying to secure an American liaison officer to refute the charges of corruption that had been leveled against the CRC. (1)
In 1939, Dr. Talbot returned to China. On March 11, he left Hong Kong with Dr. Paul Dohan to deliver supplies to Dr. Lim’s CRC headquarters in Guiyang, China. The CDL wrote that he subsequently traveled to the northwest to bring supplies to the 8th Route Army. (2)
Dr. Lim reported to the CRC HQ on April 28, 1939, that Dr. Talbot was assigned to a MRC unit on the Hunan front. (3).
Any added information would help to strengthen this application. Your help is most appreciated!
