Thanks once again to annpake for the biographical details of the Young family. As mentioned in George Gerrard's diary of 10 April 1943, Bob Young received a letter from his wife to say that she had gone from Victoria to Toronto, having been stuck in Victoria for 18 months with her children and with two other Hong Kong wives, Mrs John Fleming (Kitty) and Mrs Harry Penn (Irene). All three had been hoping to joing their husbands in Hong Kong in 1940 just before the evacuation took place. As usual, the letter had taken a long time to arrive.
