Yoshino Maycock was the wife of John Henry Maycock. She returned to her family in Japan on the outbreak of war and had no news of the fate of her husband or her Hong Kong-born sons. She was finally reunited with her husband and surviving sons in England two years after the war had ended. Her son Tommy, who had been interned in Stanley, had survived the war but had meanwhile died of TB. Yoshino's remains were interred in the grave of her son Arthur in the Protestant Cemetery. The inscription on it is recorded in Patricia Lim's website:
