Barbara kept a diary covering the period 1941-1945, ie the fighting in Hong Kong, and her internment in Stanley Camp. You can read her diary online here, and also buy a copy of the printed diaries (published as Tin Hats and Rice) in the Gwulo shop.
Father of Doreen.
Barbara Anslow:
In camp were Frank (at some time), and 'Ginger' (Herbert) Angus, their
sister-in-law Hilda Angus (a nurse, whose husband G. Angus of HKVDC died a pow in Japan), and Mrs. Matilda Angus, mother of the Angus boys.
Greg Leck lists Hilda Angus as being Ginger's wife, but that is a mistake.
Ginger did not get married until post-war, to an Australian girl called Sue.
Brian has written about Frank Angus:
One of the best documented of the workers who stayed out of Stanley to help Dr. Selwyn-Clarke with his public health measures – and in all or almost all cases with his humanitarian smuggling – is Frank Angus.
Mr. Angus seems to have acted as Selwyn-Clarke’s ‘front of house man’ and general assistant. Read more ...
DoB from John Black's list, which gives Mr Angus's occupation in 1941 as "Civil Servant".
