20 Jun 1942, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp

Harold Bidmead, Victor Randall, Brian Fay and Vincent Morrison are sentenced to two years in prison for their escape of April 8. (They were recaptured on April 10.)

They are sent to Stanley Prison to serve their sentence.

J. K. Stanton, the grandson of the Norwegian Consul but with a British father, enters Stanley, probab;y with three other boys. All have come from school in Tsing Tao via Shanghai. Three of the original seven are of French extraction and join their relatives in town - David O'Dell (Odell) and two boys from the Weill family. Stanton's grandfather will be one of the few Norwegians allowed to stay uninterned after the February 1943 escapes, and Stanton believes  the 'hard time' he is given by the Japanese contributes to his early death.
