Rained heavily 1AM.

Investigation of people arrested yesterday carried on. (Hall, Bradley, Anderson PWD, Scott, Reece & Whant). ((Probably F I Hall, F W Bradley, W R Scott, and S Rees, as all those men would be executed by the Japanese in October 1943. I only know of one "Whant" in camp, L R Whant. In the comments below, Brian notes 'Anderson' refers to William Anderson.))

It was camp quartermaster William Anderson. New Zealand radio operator James Anderson was arrested on July 7th.

I believe that in addition to the 33 (including one woman) who were executed at Stanley in October 1943, there were 15 who were charged at the same time of whom nine were sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. These nine included both James Anderson and William Anderson. Not sure if Whant’s name appears in the documents I have seen.
