Daisy Joyce came to Hong Kong in March 1940 as a biologist for the Education Department.

During the hostilities of December 1941 she was an auxillary nurse at the Emergency Hospital in La Salle College (Kowloon).

She was interned in Stanley and created a well-known visual record: the Day Joyce Sheet. This was an embroidered sheet, hidden between the rugs on her bed, which contained coded memorials of internee names and events.
