A mention in the A E Gomes Newsletter for Nov 1988:

NOTES FROM THE MAIL BAG Lt Bevan C. Field, MC, No 3 Coy, HKVDC ex Shamshuipo, ex Argyle Street Camp, 570 Aurora Way, Victoria B.C. V8Z 3J7 Canada: ..have been in Canada since August 1977...now in my 80's still hale and healthy rather tend to shy away from anything more venturesome than the occasional domestic shopping expedition in and around Victoria... glad to see Nick Jaffer still around .... plan of Camp "S" brought back many half-forgotten memories including a couple of crazy daylight excursions and fleeting visits to the forbidden territory beyond the no-man's land separating Camp "N" and "S"... with a very suspicious sentry trailing me past the oil drums...fortunately he was not able to recognise me later when he and another sentry came nosing around. .... Here is a little bit of doggerell
                       Long ago in S. S. Po
                       We lived (or died) on rice
                       With now and then some daikon
                       Or sweet potato tops

                       Fish was rare but when it came
                       We had a bite or two
                       But sad to say we always knew
                       As sunshine follows rain
                       That close around the corner was
                       Just half a mug
                                       of
                       Eyeball and arso stew                B.C. Field
