6 Apr 1943, Barbara Anslow's diary Posted: 19 Mar 2012 03:11 AM PDT Book / Document:  Barbara Anslow's diary Date(s) of events described:  Tue, 6 Apr 1943 Mrs. V. Evans, aged 40, died today. ((She became cyanosed after an operation in the camp hospital and died. She would probably have survived had our supply of oxygen cylinders had not run out then.  She was such a cheery person, and a great entertainer on the Stanley stage.  I wrote a poem in memory of her, it's in the book of my Mum's memoirs. Sadly, her husband died a POW in Kowloon.))
