| 12 Apr 1944, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Posted: 01 Jan 2014 02:14 AM PST Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Wed, 12 Apr 1944 Thomas Edgar writes home and includes a message for another family from Windsor: Dear Mother & All, We are all very fit, please do not send us anything. Please convey Meredith Clarence Road son fit and well. Lena and Tommy
Note: Edgar asks not to be sent anything because he knew previous Red Cross parcels had not been delivered to him. He probably suspected they were being intercepted by Japanese officials.
