Everything tagged: WW2: Interned at Stanley Camp

Barbara Anslow writes:

Mrs Bonner had two daughters in camp, Julia (who was 16 in 1945), and Dolores (12 in 1945).

She is mentioned several times in R E Jones' diary.

Frederick William Bradley was a senior health inspector before the war.

While in Stanley he became part of the resistance network, receiving secret messages, mostly on health matters but at least one sent from the British Army Aid Group, through the drivers of the camp ration lorry.

He was arrested on June 28, 1943 and executed, alongside 32 others, close to Stanley Beach on October 29, 1943.

He appeared on the This is your life TV show:
