Everything tagged: WW2: Interned at Stanley Camp

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum, but have been enjoying the site for several weeks.

I'm researching the activities of my father, George Merriman, who was interned in Stanley from the fall of HK until liberation. He told us very little of his memories, probably because he was Deputy Head of Station for Hong Kong MI6, serving under Alec Summers. He would have felt restrained by the Official Secrets Act, I suspect. (I met Alec Summers when he came to NZ to visit Dad in about 1960...)

Wife of Andre Kella.

I knew Mrs Kella, she must be the Aunt of Sheila Haynes about whose wedding there was much corresponence on the camp website recently. Didn't know her very well.

The Kellas are listed in Greg Leck's camp list as having come to Stanley on 21st Jan. 1942 (when a great many of us also arrived); in confirmation, they are also listed on the very first Stanley list smuggled out of camp early on.
