From an audio tape by L T Ride:

‘A New Zealand engineer off a Hongkong-owned ship, probably chartered on war work when the Japs attacked Hongkong, got in touch with the authorities in India to see whether he could be given permission to go into China in order to find out whether it was possible to get his wife out from Hongkong.  Obviously she was not interned, and was therefore either Chinese or a third national.  He was willing to get leave from his company and spend it in China helping in any way he could.

After the fall of Hongkong, I went to Kweilin in the early part of 1942.  As soon as I reached Kweilin, I took the post as Assistant Architect in the Central Government of China at  Factory No 43, Ordnance Depot, Kweilin.  The job was to design and construct buildings such as factories, warehouses etc.  My service was then requested by the BAAG, and I was transferred to BAAG Headquarters Kweilin as Draughtsman attached to "D" Section, which post I held until the end of 1944.
