D.C. Edmonston died.  A bank official, he was imprisoned in the gaol; his wife and daughter Mary (in camp) were notified that he was dying and were allowed to go and see him, but he didn't know them, and died.  ((Mrs. Edmonston had in January bought Olive's gold manicure set for Mary's birthday.  The Japanese allowed Mr Edmonston's body to be buried in the camp cemetry.))
