1 Dec 1941, Barbara Anslow's diary Posted: 25 Jan 2012 12:56 PM PST Book / Document: Date of events described: Mon, 1941-12-01 My 23rd birthday. Mr Bendall (Public Works Dept. official) gave me a Roget's Thesaurus, Olive and Topper stockings; Mabel - eau de cologne; Sid - hanks; Mary (Taylor) eau de cologne. New girl started at work, Lily A. Medina (Portuguese). Malaya mobilised. Even if this place (HK) isn't involved by 5th Dec. when the R.S. Band ((Royal Scots Band)) should be in, I don't expect.. can't see that they will be allowed in under present circumstances. Government advising further evacuation. Only hope seems to be that Japs now say they will keep on talks with USA in hope that USA will change viewpoint - that isn't thought likely. Libyan battle still on. Began writing new story 'Vacation in Hong Kong.'

1 Dec 1941, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Posted: 02 Mar 2012 02:00 AM PST Book / Document: Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Date of events described: Mon, 1941-12-01 Director of Medical Services Selwyn-Selwyn Clarke makes an appeal: Recruits are needed for the Auxiliary Medical Corps, including nurses, stretcher-bearers, clerks (male and female), telephonists and those with experience of social work. Alfred Duff Cooper sends a message from Singapore, where he's 'Resident Cabinet Minister', to Hong Kong's ' Bachelor Husbands': he met the evacuated wives when he was in Australia, he understood their feelings, but it would be wrong for them to return to Hong Kong at the moment.

1 Dec 1941, A. H. Potts' wartime diary Posted: 06 Dec 2012 01:33 AM PST Book / Document: Date of events described: Mon, 1941-12-01 I was at Fanling Camp in charge of the HKVDC transport during the week preceding the outbreak of hostilities. The Adjutant sent for me and said, "Alec, always have at least four lorries standing by in your vehicle park, as we may have to move some stores back to Hongkong in a hurry". This struck me as pretty significant, so I went across to the bungalow that evening and told Uncle Pat that he had better pack up and move to my house or in any case get prepared for any emergency. He had only just returned to his beloved bungalow from my house, where Susie had nursed him back to life, after the doctors had given him up in October; the weather was beautiful and Fanling at its best, so I was not surprised that he decided to stay on.
