Janet Christie was the youngest of three children of Dr Nicol Mcleod. The family came to Hong Kong shortly before the Japanese attack and were interned in Stanley.

After the war they returned to Scotland, and Christie studied Fine Art at Edinburgh Art School. She married and moved to Norfolk, where she raised three children. She moved to Peebles (Scotland) in 1990 and returned to painting and to exhibiting her work.

Moddsey has found a short article about Mackenzie's wartime experiences and internment at Luk Hoi Tung then Stanley. It's on page 30-31 of the Winter 1964 edition of the Hong Kong Police Magazine.

A copy of the article starts at page 107 of this document:

Note from Dave Deptford:

G F Robinson, Sgt E 24  B 20,04 1908, enlisted 27.5.1930, employed with Anti-Piracy Contingent and regraded to Sub Inspector post war, awarded Colonial Police Long Service & Good Conduct Medal 1948, retired shortly thereafter. Regret I don't have his Russian name.

The Hong Kong Government Gazette of November 11, 1941 (page 1718) records that Julius Ring was appointed Commandant of the Hong Kong Auxillary Quartering Corps. One source describes him as the 'Billeting Officer' in the period leading up to the December hostilities.

Before being sent to Stanley he and his wife (presumably) were held in Room 141 of the Tung Fong Hotel (http://www.hongkongwardiary.com/searchgarrison/nonuniformedcivilians.html#_Toc43367494)
