06 Nov 1943, Diary of George Gerrard in Stanley Internment Camp Hong Kong

Date(s) of events described: 
Sat, 6 Nov 1943

Tonight I received a parcel from Lo Fung I and Young Lo containing 4lb sweet potatoes, dried onion and some curry powder. Very nice and thoughtful of them. It is fine that some are still faithful to us.

Repatriation is now in full swing again and is expected to take place next month. The categories are children without parents, women with children, old and infirm and certain women, that is war widows. There will be a lot of sad hearts amongst the women but we have no sympathy for shirkers or dodgers call them what you like. However more of this anon.
