W C EXCELL [????-????]

Although Excell lived in the same room as several Prison Officers, his name doesn't appear on the lists for the Prison Officers or Stanley Platoon.

The man 'Excell' referred to by Mr Jones in today's diary might be W.C. Excell, described in Stanley list as an employee of HK & Kowloon Wharf & Godown Co.    Apart from Police, internees from different employment in the colony were mixed in many of the rooms, so it wouldnt be surprising if Mr Excell ended up in a room with prison officers.

I have a vague memory that Mr Excell was slightly crippled, and worked in Food Control during the battle for Hong Kong - but I could well have mixed him up with someone else.
