18 Aug 1943, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Posted: 14 Jun 2014 06:14 AM PDT Book / Document:  Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Date(s) of events described:  Wed, 18 Aug 1943 Sir Vandeleur Grayburn is taken to the Stanley Prison 'Hospital' - a place where there's almost  medical treatment and the rations are even lower than in the cells to discourage would-be patients. The only advantage to being here is that you're allowed to lie down all day and don't have to spend most of your waking hours staring cross-legged at the wall. He's not put on one of the two twenty-bed wards but into a two-person hospital cell, which he shares with policeman Vincent Morrison, who's serving two years for trying to escape from Stanley. Morrison notices that Grayburn has boils all over his right leg and learns that his temperature is 103. Sources: E. P. Streatfield, Statement, in HK Public Records Office, HKMS100-1-6, 10-11 Boils and temperature: Morrison's evidence to war crimes trial, China Mail, April 4, 1947, 2
