| 21 Jul 1942, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Posted: 17 Feb 2014 02:45 AM PST Book / Document: Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Date of events described: Tue, 1942-07-21 The British Army Aid Group sends out a long document summarising the information provided by Staff-Sergeant Patrick Sheridan (escaped June 4). The section headed Stanley Interment Camp begins: News from this camp comes from patients who are brought into the French Hospital for x-ray or special treatment. Dr. Court interviews these patients and instructed me to try and pass on this information to someone in authority. There are about 300 or 350 cases of Beri Beri, mostly among elderly people. As there are no vitamins available, this tends to play on these people's minds. Source: Sheridan's Statement, Ride Papers (kindly provided by Elizabeth Ride)
