30 Oct 1943, Diary of George Gerrard in Stanley Internment Camp Hong Kong

Yesterday I received a parcel from the Mei Lee Ironworks containing 1 tin corned beef, 1 tin fish and 1 packet of sugar which was very acceptable. There isn't a great deal of news except disturbing rumours that some of the internee prisoners have been bumped off.

Russian news appears to be good. The 'Teia Meru' is not calling this way on the way back to Japan but for the next repatriation we are likely to receive some Red Cross food which is badly needed.
