Submitted by brian edgar on Sat, 05/28/2016 - 02:18

Red Cross Delegate Rudolf Zindel visits Stanley. He has discussions with Franklin Gimson, inspects 'various premises' and pays 'Pocket Allowances' to the British and 18 Americans as well as making his usual monthly donation of M.Y.3,000 to the Camp Relief Fund.

This will be the last of his regular monthly visits. From now on he will have to apply to the War Office in Tokyo for permission to inspect the two civilian camps in the same way he's already doing for the POW camps. (See tomorrow's entry).
