BAAG Roll of Honour

From Japanese Court Martial, 19th October 1943:

“Frederck Ivan George Hall was a butcher, and was interned after the Japanese took Hongkong.  He was put in charge of provisions and thus had opportunities of of contacting the Chinese Leung Hung, a coolie employed by the Governor-General’s Department.  From January 1943 to the beginning of July of the same year on about ten to twenty occasions, he secretly introduced or sent out messages, knowing it to be an offence to send out or receive any article without the permission of the appropriate authority.  About April of that year, Leung Hung at the instance of Loie Fook Wing asked him to deliver to the addresses important secret papers from the British organization of Waichow, and this he duly did on every occasion knowing full well the nature of the papers he was handling.  In June of the same year, in the same camp, he was asked to deliver a secret document from Anderson about W.T. code from Loie Fook Wing addressed to Fraser, Chief of Police of the former Hongkong Government.”

Executed 29th October 1943.
