05 Aug 1945, Diary of George Gerrard in Stanley Internment Camp Hong Kong

Submitted by Alison Gerrard on Sun, 11/01/2020 - 12:53

The people belonging to Block 8, bungalows A, B and C got permission to return to their own rooms on Thursday 2nd August. All nonsense and typical of the Japs mind to keep these people more or less street sleepers as the bombs? for want of another name were removed last Saturday several days after the actual bombing. How much longer we are going to be here I wonder.

The small news we hear is said to be good and there are good prospects for our early release I hope. Another new Prime Minister 31 years since 1st Great War.
