Thu, 4 Oct 1945
The Highland Monarch sails carrying 450 internees and 350 Indian POWs.
Among them is journalist Eric Macnider. He takes with him one of the most substantional collections of camp memorabilia known to me. As well as a diary, it contains lists of rumours, accounts of camp 'trials', daily menus, details of rations, copies of notices, statistics copied from the Hong Kong News....At some point the collection will be deposited in the Australian War Memorial, Canberra.
