| Waichow Intelligence Summary #16, 14 Jan 1943 Posted: 17 Jan 2013 01:45 AM PST Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Thu, 14 Jan 1943 4. STANLEY INTERNMENT CAMP It is reported from two sources that Dr. Selwyn-Clarke is to be sent to Stanley Camp. 68 said that it was because the Japanese discovered medical supplies in the Red Cross parcels send into P.O.Ws. Camps. These were traced to Dr. Selwyn-Clarke to whom the Japanese objected, not against supplying the drugs but the clandestine way in which it was done. The second informant - 21 - said he had heard that the Japanese had sent an Indian named ABDULLAH to Dr. Selwyn-Clarke to ask for general guidance. The conversation was reported to the Japanese and rumour has it that the Japanese accuse Dr. Selwyn-Clarke of being in touch with H.B.M. Consul in Macao. Recently a number of people have approached us offereing to get in touch with Stanley. Knowing nothing of these people we have said we are not in the least bit interested, and hope the news gets back to the Japanese, who may well have sent some of these men to us. |
| 14 Jan 1943, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Posted: 02 Jun 2014 03:21 AM PDT Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Thu, 14 Jan 1943 The British Army Aid Group's digest of information, Waichow Intelligence Summary No. 16, bearing today's date carries this passage on page 3: J. D. S. ((almost certainly the HKU Vice-Chancellor, more usually D. J. Sloss)) is returning to Stanley this afternoon after staying out in the F. ((=French= St. Paul's, Causeway Bay)) Hospital, for over four months. Sloss has revealed medicines urgently needed in Shamshuipo, especially diphtheria anti-toxin. The information about Sloss has come to the BAAG in a letter signed PREST. They don't know who this is at this stage, but it's Preston Wong, formerly a teacher at St. Paul's College, who will continue to send information until he's caught and executed with 32 others on Stanley Beach on October 29, 1943.
