“My activities commenced in Argyle Street Camp towards the end of Summer of 1942 when I began to speak to one of the Chinese drivers of the ration lorries, which used to make daily visits into the Camp. I got some items of local news from him and then started the system of bringing in Chinese newspapers through him. This went on for many months.
The Norwegian War Time Committee
The Norwegian War Time Committee was set up shortly after the surrender and during the early Japanese occupation of Hong Kong. Their mission was to provide help and assitance to the Norwegian community in Hong Kong as Norwegians were given status as third nationals and semi-enemies and not permitted to leave the territory by the Japanese.
In his statement given in Kweiling in April 1943 after his escape from Hong Kong, Ragnar Brodersen listed these member as of February 1943:

I assume James Thomas Dupuy was Isabelle Dupuy's husband. He was serving with HKVDC as BSM of No 5 (AA) Battery and would have been based at Sai Wan Hill AA Fort although the battery personnel were divided into two sections - one on and one off. Each with about 40 personnel. The off section was based at West Bay AA Battery where there are still a number of extant and destroyed splinter proof accommodation shelters for West Bay AA Battery and Sai Wan AA Battery (off section).
I thought he might have been the husband of Mrs E B Barron, who was interned in Stanley Camp.
