My grandfather, Archibald Hill Ferguson, was the manager of the Chartered Bank. He and his family lived at Charter House  from about 1920 until 1932 when he became chief manager of the bank in London. The photo shows him, my grandmother Helen McEwan Ferguson (an American from Seattle) my aunt Eleanor (the elder child) and my mother Marjorie.

Wright-Nooth uses the spelling Kinlock in his book Prisoner of the turnip heads, but official documents use Kinloch.

John Black's list gives Kinloch's occupation in 1941 as "Police".

Mr Carrie kept a diary of his experiences during the battle in December 1941, and his internment in Stanley Camp that followed. His grandson David has very kindly shared a text copy of the diary with us: W J Carrie's wartime diary

John Black's list gives Dow's occupation in 1941 as "clergyman".

Barbara Anslow writes:

[On the ground floor of the Tweed Bay Hospital was] a small room which eventually housed an internee, Mr. Albert Frain, who sadly lost his senses and was looked after by a male nurse.

It's not clear whether Mr Frain had the breakdown before December 1941, or if it was brought on by the fighting / internment.

Mrs Mary Black and her husband Alexander Black were our neighbours in Block 3 of the Married Quarters.
