| Posted: 23 Dec 2011 10:03 PM PST Book / Document: R. E. Jones Wartime diary Date of events described: Sun, 1942-01-25 Nothing to do but wander around & see fresh faces. Looked at G2 all seems to be clean & tidy. Food poor & scanty. Had we known that we were to be interned here we could have buried & hidden quite a lot of useful stuff from the Prison. |
| 25 - 28 Jan 1942, Barbara Anslow's diary Posted: 03 Jan 2012 05:47 AM PST Book / Document: Barbara Anslow's diary Date of events described: Sun, 1942-01-25 - Wed, 1942-01-28 Olive arrived a couple of days ago with Food Control staff - now 5 in the room. Fish today - smell put me off. Kellogs is stale. Diet devastating - rice and fish, or stew. when Kellogs and Oxo run out I shall just have to eat rice ((had always hated it!)) Stew dreadful too. Luckily Mum has some tea. Went for a walk up through the cemetry, saw Ronald Egan's grave ((he was an acquaintance in the Volunteers; hanging on the makeshift cross on his grave was his steel helmet with bullet hole through it.)) Also communal grave of the VADs and others murdered at St Stephens. |

The Protestant denominations in Camp agree it would be 'ridiculous' to hold separate church services: On the very first Sunday there was a United Communion or Eucharist at 9.00 a.m. with worship services at 11.30 a.m. and 3.30 p.m. Source: Peak: Phyllis Harrop, Hong Kong Incident, 1944, 125 Services: Bill Ream, Too Hot For Comfort, 1988, 52 Note: There are about 400 Catholics in Stanley and they hold their own services. So do the Christian Scientists. |
