Thanks Mary, I've added in the extra details to his profile.
Please could you take a look at your comment on Eileen's page: https://gwulo.com/comment/47234#comment-47234 It looks as though you've pasted in Charles's information by mistake.
If you can add any information (memoirs, stories, photos, etc) about their time in Stanley Camp, it will be gratefully received.
Regards, David
Update
Thanks David. I have corrected Eileen's records.

Moddsey found this mention on page 2 of The China Mail, 1946-01-11:
Charles Medley Returns
Back in Hong Kong after service with the Royal Canadian Navy in the last two years of the war is Det.-Sub.-Inspector C. Medley of the Hong Kong Police.
Sub.-Insp. Medley is the second ex-Stanley internee to return to service with the Hong Kong Police. He is now attached to the Criminal Investigation Department, Tsimshatsui. With Sub.-Insp. D. Mann, now with the Special Branch, he was repatriated to Canada in September, 1943, after 20 months’ internment at Stanley Camp. Early in 1944, Sub-Insp Medley joined the Royal Canadian Navy and saw service as a Lieutenant in the Canadian Navy Intelligence in both the Atlantic and the Pacific.
