S. H. Marvin is on the list of Prison Officers (March 1, 1939), and listed as a Private in the Stanley Platoon, HKVDC.
The following notes appear on the Hong Kong Police website:
Mother of Irene Braudé.
In 1922 Henry Tom Brooks was appointed to the position of Superintendent of the Hong Kong Fire Brigade. His task was to modernize the fire service in Hong Kong which was considerably out of date. He gradually improved things and by the time he retired, as Chief Fire Officer, he had established two main fire stations and eleven sub-stations in the Colony. One of his initial achievements was to provide training facilities for the fire-fighters.
Emily Kate Brooks, the mother of Doris MacPherson (nee Brooks), and Roland Henry John Brooks (aka Ron) was interned at Stanley camp - with both Ron and Doris. Emily was the wife of Henry Tom Brooks; in 1922 he was appointed as Superintendent of the Fire Brigade in HK with the task of modernizing the Fire Brigade.
Doris Emily Elizabeth MacPherson (nee Brooks), was interned in Stanley Prison Camp by the Japanese. She married Lance-Sergeant Duncan MacPherson of the Hong Kong Police in Stanley prison camp on 9 June 1943.
Doris was the daughter of Henry Tom Brooks who was appointed Superintendent of the Hong Kong Fire Brigade in 1922. She was 9 years old when she arrived in HK from London with her father, brother Roland, and mother Emily.
Roland Henry John Brooks (Ron), Deputy Chief Office of the Hong Kong Fire Brigade, was one of the few to be awarded the King's Police and Fire Brigade Medal for gallantry.
Percy Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke - as he became after changing his birth name by deed poll - arrived in Hong Kong as Medical Director in 1938. After the Japanese victory he was not sent to Stanley but allowed to continue his work for the benefit of all communities. As well as his official duties, he organised the purchase of drugs, supplementary foodstuffs, and medical equipment, and arranged for these items to be smuggled into Stanley, Shamshuipo and other camps and hospitals.
