In afternoon, visited Clifton in hospital, and Mrs Hamilton, Mr Poyntz and Mrs Stratton. ((I can't recall which Mrs Hamilton I visited, it was probably the one who lived in a room near we Redwoods in the Married Quarters. I only knew her as 'Mrs Hamilton' as in those days young people didn't call their elders by their Christian names which we didn't know.))

Note:
The Osborne family were probably Eurasian, and as such had a degree of choice as to whether they entered Stanley. Alfred Richard Osborne and his family were also in camp, while Patrick William Osborne remained uninterned.
