72 years ago: Hong Kong's wartime diaries |
| 20 Nov 1943, R. E. Jones Wartime diary Posted: 26 Oct 2013 03:13 AM PDT Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Sat, 20 Nov 1943 Fine, cold. No cigs. Japs combing out the list of next repatriates. With Steve pm. Demand by Blkhd's for torches exposed failure of Supt's to carry out roll-calls. H.Qs screw up in consequence. ((That's a bit cryptic. Can anyone explain what it means please? 2013 update: Martin and Barbara note that "Blkhd's" were the Block Heads, the camp name for the internee appointed to be nominally in charge for a particular block.)) |
