14 Jan 1943, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp
Primary tabs
The British Army Aid Group's digest of information, Waichow Intelligence Summary No. 16, bearing today's date carries this passage on page 3:
J. D. S. ((almost certainly the HKU Vice-Chancellor, more usually D. J. Sloss)) is returning to Stanley this afternoon after staying out in the F. ((=French= St. Paul's, Causeway Bay)) Hospital, for over four months.
Sloss has revealed medicines urgently needed in Shamshuipo, especially diphtheria anti-toxin.
The information about Sloss has come to the BAAG in a letter signed PREST. They don't know who this is at this stage, but it's Preston Wong, formerly a teacher at St. Paul's College, who will continue to send information until he's caught and executed with 32 others on Stanley Beach on October 29, 1943.
