Ernest Tuck was in the ASC division of the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps. During the December 1941 hostilities he was assigned to the Army Field Bakery at Deepwater Bay, where he worked with Staff-Sergeant Patrick Sheridan, who paid tribute to the value of his contribution.
After the surrender he was held at the camp in North Point, and then sent to Shamshuipo.

Philip Cracknell writes that Koodiaroff fought with the HKVDC, but was lucky to be interned in the civilian camp at Stanley:
I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book.
