The Diary of Mrs Grace Smith - the blind lady of Stanley Internment Camp

Submitted by jjohnantonsmith on

This is part of the story of Mrs Grace Smith (John Anton-Smith's grandmother), a blind lady who was brought from the UK to Hong Kong to be looked after by her son, Raymond. He employed a lady known only as Chan, who became a devoted companion, to drive her around and otherwise see to her needs. John inherited this battered little diary, measuring only 6cm x 8cm, in which Grace, with the help of an unknown scribe, recounted various events during her time in Stanley Internment Camp.

Currently known as "Bungalow No. 5", but when it was part of Stanley Internment Camp it was known as "Bungalow C".

On 16 Jan 1945 a bomb from an American plane landed on Bungalow C and exploded, killing 14 internees. There is more information about this event in the diary pages for 16 Jan 1945
