Comments

I had a look in Tony Banham's book, We Shall Suffer There for details of where the Navy were held at different times. 

  • January 1942 - p.21: "The initial Japanese focus, therefore, lay in rationalizing the camps and hospitals [...] By the end of [January] North Point was holding the Canadians and the Royal Navy."
  • 18 April 1942 - p.41: The RN men are moved again, with the officers going to Argyle Street Camp, and the other ranks to Sham Shui Po Camp.
  • 25 September 1942 - p.60: "[On the Lisbon Maru,] No 1 Forward hold is mainly Royal Navy and Royal Marines with a few soldiers."
