Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp
Date(s) of events described: 
Thu, 20 Sep 1945

A report in the China Mail claims that 'Stanley feels hurt': half of the 400 women found that there weren't enough pullovers, coats and sandals in a package form the Australian Red Cross. The report makes it clear that neither the Red Cross nor the Camp Authorities are to blame.

The paper also reports the birth of a son to former internees Mr. and Mrs. Alan Thomas on board the H.M.S. Oxfordshire.

I guess the newspaper report of the birth refers to Miss Marged Ann Thomas, daughter of Mrs Jean Thomas and Dr Alun Thomas. The confusion of son / daughter may be due to a misreading of the report that a 'baby Thomas' had been born.
