Everything tagged: WW2: Interned at Stanley Camp

Franciscus Hubertus Joseph Alphonsus Lafleur was born in Rotterdam, his father originated from Roermond, The Netherlands. He is shown in a 1918 photo of the Holland-China Trading Company Hong Kong Textile department. From 1915 to 1941, he was juror in Hong Kong. With his family, he was interned in Stanley Camp (as per Greg Leck, Captives of Empire). His wife was named Lily, "daughter of a mandarin", their daughter was Ah Kan (Mary) and their son Ah Tong.

A university professor.

He isn't shown in the 1941 Jurors list.

Alfred Whittaker served in the Boxer Rebellion with the 1st Chinese Regiment and on the later disbandment of that Unit became one of three Inspectors in the Wei Hei Wei Police Force.He served with them until the rendition of WHW in c 1930.

I lose track of him until he appears,with his wife,as Interned in Stanley,being descrbed as a " Caretaker" .He died in HK in c 1953.

Gratefull for any information on him,particularly in the period 1931 - 1941.

Fisher is mentioned in W J Carrie's diary as a missionary.

Carrie and Fisher were in the same room, and from Carrie's diary entry for 23 Feb 1943 it appears they pooled their food resources:

We got 4 tins M & V and 2 tins Bully at the beginning of the month, so for Fisher and myself that is 12 tins - the M & V only does one meal and the Bully 2 - so there is only 16 meals for the month.
