Submitted by Barbara Anslow on Mon, 04/09/2012 - 15:42

C. H. Goodwin (HK Police) died.

A typed Red Cross message dated 18th March 1943 arrived from Aunt Lily in Gillingham, Kent, stamped la Croix Rouge, Geneve, with a Japanese chop on it, saying

'Hope you and girl are well... Having lovely spring weather.  All well.  Love'.

((At some unrecorded time,  another, plain typed postcard dated 28.1.44 and stamped by British Censor arrived, saying:

'All well, Home and Rhodesia.  Hope you and girls are too.  Having mild winter, bulbs up, trees sprouting.  All send our love, Lilian.'

The reference to Rhodesia is re Aunt Bess and family, and Aunt Hilda and family, who lived there.))
