Barbara Anslow:

Mr. W. J. Mezger was an Australian who lived near us in the Married Quarters ((at Stanley Internment Camp)).

He was one of three  middle-aged men who lived in the amahs' rooms of our flat.  I think they were Australian:-  William J. Mezger, appraiser; Henry Harold Fantham, appraiser, and Charles Henry Fuller, appraiser.  I have seen mention of Mr. Fantham's diary I think in Australia.  These three men were always ready to help us females when we asked them.
