Entry in the 1940 Jurors List:

c   Melrose, William Draughtsman, Taikoo Dockyard & Engineering Co. of H.K., Ld. Quarry Bay.

George Gerrard's diary entry for 17 Apr 1943 notes that Mr Melrose was on leave when the Japanese invaded, and so avoided being interned:

I had a great thrill when I received a letter but it was only from Willie Melrose from Australia, he is with the Australian Shipbuilding Board and getting on all right. He, Simpson, Higgs and Adams were the lucky ones being on leave during this affair.
