Mary Prichard Moline, missionary in China - was she interned in Hong Kong or Shanghai?
Mary was English, the sister of Robin Moline, Archbishop of Perth. I have no knowledge of her between her arrival in Hong Kong in 1940 and 1946 when she left China via the port of Chinqangtao in northern China.
It is possible she travelled to Shanghai prior to Japanese occupation and practised her missionary work there until she was captured and interned. Following are possibilities of where she was held.
