| 02 May 1944, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Posted: 19 Jul 2015 05:49 AM PDT Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Tue, 2 May 1944 A couple who were probably the first internees to marry have their second child: Robert McGregor Mitchell.
Mrs. Rachel Grace Rose dies at the age of 44. Mrs. Rose was a Chinese woman married to a Henley Hemdon Rose, formerly of the Public Works Department and then a POW in Shamshuipo. She left a daughter Dawn (12) and son Gerald (8) to be cared for by Mrs. H. Aitken. Gerald was to become an award-winning illustrator of children's books. His claim to have seen his first live tiger in camp presumably means that he was one of those who caught sight of the Stanley tiger of May-June 1942.
