Lewis Charles Arlington was an American author of a number of books about China, where he lived for almost seventy years.

He was in Hong Kong during the December 1941 hostilities, and at Repulse Bay Hotel during the siege and during the early stages of his captivity became very weak - he was 83 years old - so was never sent to Stanley, He was sent to the French Hospital in early 1942 and that's probably where he died.
