Suziepie:

Did you also meet Norman Darkin?  His wife, Marie, was evacuated to Sydney. She went on a later ship as she had just given birth to their 3rd child, a daughter.

Barbara Anslow:

I only knew Mr Darkin by sight in camp.  I wonder if he had a son, as I have a memory of my husband and I attending a HKPolice Assn. weekend in UK some twenty-odd years ago, when we sat at the same table as a fellow whose Dad had been in Stanley, I think he was a Darkin.

HO Lim-peng:

Yes Mr. Darkin had a son, he served in the RHKP for many years

Suziepie:

DoB from John Black's list.

Rosaleen and I worked in the same Govt. department together until she married Capt. Millar before the Jap attack.  She was a VAD at Bowen Road Hosp, came into camp Aug. 1942 - was then diagnosed with TB and spent all her time in camp being cared for by her family in their room in Married Q.  Dr Yaroogsky-Erooga looked after her and probably saved her life.  She lived well into her eighties.
