Sat, 9 May 1942
It's announced in camp that an Informal Welfare Group/Committee has been set up in town. This is another initiative of Dr. Selwyn-Clarke, and it seems it alrready has a scheme to get supplies into Stanley - but it's stipulated first there must be a survey to establish the needs of every internee, adult and child.
John Stericker considers that this group did some 'very excellent work' but its activities were limited and it wasn't allowed to carry on for long.
