A search for Cullinan at HKGRO returns several results:

She stayed in Hong Kong and was interned in Stanley Camp. Philip Cracknell found this mention of her from shortly after liberation in 1945:

“Mrs. Kathleen Madigan, of 16 Cambridge terrace, Kingswood, re-ceived a letter yesterday from hersister. Miss Alicia M. Cullinan, who has been interned in Stanley camp since the fall of Hongkong. It was the first notification she had received of her sister's release,and It was written from Stanley. Miss Cullinan was awarded the Royal Red Cross in the first European war when she was matron of a Red Cross hospital in England. She has been in Hongkong for 13 years, and for some time was lecturer in dietetics at the university there. Miss Culllnan was visiting relatives in Adelaide in 1940 when she was recalled by the Hongkong Government.” (Source: The Advertiser (Adelaide)  21/9/45)
