I am trying to find her elder brother and/ or her parents. The brother lived in Hong Kong, and he took care of his tre sisters. He was a busines man. I know the name of two of the sisters, Florence Haugland (who lived in Hong Kong and mooved to Norway in 1964) and her sister Fanny Butt who lived in Vancouver in Canada. I thing their maiden name could be Sayce/ Sayez or Sassoon. My grandmother was born in Bagdad in Iraq in 1901. she had one daughter Esther Ruth Haugland. My grandmother was in Stanley camp during the second world war.

Joseph Edgar Joseph was an exchange broker and philanthropist.

He first came to Hong Kong as a small child in 1884 and spent most of the rest of his life here and in Shanghai.

He was interned in Stanley during the war, but seems to have been 'guaranteed out' in 1942.

He made donations to a wide variety of Hong Kong charities, to the Hebrew University in Palestine, and to the needy in Shanghai's Jewish community.

Cause of death: 
Internal injuries from beatings during interrogation

John Power retired from the Chinese Maritime Customs in 1939.

He and his wife Mary were interned at Stanley after the 1941 surrender but they were released because Mr Power was Irish.

He assisted Dr Selwyn-Clarke in his campaign of relief activity and eventually worked underground for the British Army Aid Group. He was arrested in June 1944 and died some time thereafter as a result of mistreatment.
