There's some confusion over the spelling of his name. Eric MacNider spells it "Brenchley" on several pages of his diary, so that's the version I'll use. But there's also:

  • "A G Benchley, b. 1892, Merchant" in John Black's list, and
  • "Brengchley, A.G. Mr. Food Control, Gloucester Hotel NKH" on the Hong Kong War Diary website 

(I checked the 1939 Jurors' List and Blue Book, but couldn't find any matching name.)

UPDATE: Confirmed as Brenchley, see Ann's comment below.
