A relative of mine, Miss Elsie Laura Beckingsale, was a senior administrrator at the above camp. I have some photos of the refugees, the huts and some children exercising, forming the chinese character for North Point. Also I have a superb orange silk banner made for Elsie (Laura) by the refugees thanking her for all her help and given to her when she left the camp to return to England.
Does anyone have any information or pictures of this camp at this particular time.
Laura was also in Wuchang at the outbreak of the 1911 Chinese Revolution and her life at that time is detailed in "Letters from Hankow" recently published.
