13 Apr 1943, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp

Submitted by brian edgar on

Grayburn and Streatfield are moved again.

This time they're taken by car to Stanley Prison where they're held in much improved conditions. Each has a cell to himself and exercise periods and baths are provided.

Their arrival is recorded in the diary of George Wright-Nooth:

Grayburn brought to Stanley chained to Streatfield....

It seems from Streatfield's account that they were both roped up, but not to each other.
