22 Feb 1943, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp

Date(s) of events described: 
Mon, 22 Feb 1943

The Norwegians arrive in Stanley today. They'd been allowed to stay in town, but are interned because two of them escaped. (See entry for February 10, 1943).

Some had been working pre-war in Hong Kong, others were merchant seamen in port when the hostilities began.
