A powerful piece on the Reddish family (Cecil, Anna, daughter Veronica, born in camp, and her two younger sisters):

I think it brings out very well the effects of internment on post-war living.

Cecil died in 1964 aged 54 from TB contracted in Stanley.

Anna still alive in 2006 (I think) at 89 years of age.

The link from Barbara's diary entry of September 7, 1944 is to Victoria Ann Reddish - should be Veronica Ann Reddish.

Thanks Brian, I've added the dates, and also corrected Victoria => Veronica.

Regards, David
