W B Haslett took part in the fighting in December 1941, but spent the occupation years in the civilian internment camp at Stanley. Philip Cracknell has a good write-up:

William Benjamin Haslett was born at the end of the Victorian century on 11th February 1894. He was a Marine Engineer from Belfast and that's all I know of him until he joined the Hong Kong Royal Naval Reserve on the outbreak of war in 1939 aged 45.

Philip Cracknell writes:

John Arthur Tarrant born 30 Mar 1872 was interned in Stanley Internment Camp and was billeted in Block 4 Room 26 in the same room was a Agnes Jane Millar (21/May 1874) described as "of independent means". 

Philip Cracknell writes that Koodiaroff fought with the HKVDC, but was lucky to be interned in the civilian camp at Stanley:

A number of civilians were unlucky enough to end up in military POW camps and several volunteers and regular soldiers  were lucky enough to end up in Stanley Civilian Internment Camp. One of these was Michael Alex Koodiaroff who had just turned forty and worked as a Hotel Assistant at the Peninsula Hotel. He  was married to  Elizabeth and they had one child, a boy of  seven years.
