  • Garton would be Vivian Garton of Public Works Department, a talented comedian.
  • Brown is probably Rev Cyril Brown, very popular on Stanley stage, also known for his kindness and help  to fellow internees.
  • Heath is probably Ian Heath, a pianist who often played duets with Betty Drown.
  • Pauline Beck, then in her late teens, was the pianist for most of the children's concerts.
