Diarist Eric MacNider tells us that 14 bankers arrived in Stanley today, and the same number is given by George Gerrard in his retrospective entry of July 7. R. E. Jones also notes the arrival of the 'rest of the bankers' while outside the borders of Hong Kong the British Army Aid Group will soon learn that most of the bankers have entered Stanley today.
One of their number is Hugo Foy. Like many of the other bankers, he's been active in raising funds for the relief of the internees he's now joining. But something he's done will catch up with him - he will be the only HSBC employee to be arrested while in camp. Why is not known.
