Marie Paterson, a school teacher, was a nurse in the Jockey Club wartime hospital when it was overrun by the Japs. Her incredibly brave escape to seek help, after the soldiers started raping the younger nurses, is told in detail by my Mother on pages 95-98 of her memoir 'It Was Like This...' I believe this is mentioned in Gwen Dew's book which I have lost, and also in 'The Private Life of Old Hong Kong' by Susanna Hoe.
Barbara Anslow:
Bessie Greenwood was married to Mr E. Greenwood
Barbara Anslow:
Mrs Mary Black and her husband Alexander Black were our neighbours in Block 3 of the Married Quarters.
DoB from John Black's list, which gives A W Black's occupation in 1941 as "Marine Surveyor".
His entry in the 1942 list of civilian internees:
| Padgett G T | 40 | Electrical Engineer |
He's listed on page J61 of the Blue Book for 1938:
John Black's list gives Mr Crofton's occupation in 1941 as "Prison Post Office".
His name is given as "Humphreys" in several diary entries, but I think it's the this man that is listed in the 1941 Juror's List:
| c | * | Humphrey, Eric. | Electrician, H.K. & Whampoa Dock Co., Ld. | On premises. |
