| 5 Aug 1943, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Posted: 17 Jan 2012 03:50 AM PST Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Thu, 5 Aug 1943 Franklin Gimson noted in his diary that this was a 'bad-tempered day' because no meat was provided.
There's a meeting in A. W. Brown's room in Block A4. Three Lane, Crawford directors accompany Brown, the company manager, while A.L. Shields, D. L. Newbigging and two others represent Dairy Farm. The two teams are seeking a plan to merge the companys' over-lapping operations after the war and thus elminate the 'hate' that sometimes arose between them. It seems that the prospects are good: Brown claims that the only remaining question is which company is to retail tinned goods. Nevertheless, the anticipated merger won't happen until 1960 when Dairy Lane Ltd. is set up.
