The little notebook that became Mrs Grace Smith’s diary of her time in Stanley Internment camp was not shiny and new. We might surmise that it had once belonged to a teacher. It appears to show part of their weekly timetable, teaching Forms 3A and 3B.

The Diary of Mrs Grace Smith - the blind lady of Stanley Internment Camp

Submitted by jjohnantonsmith on Mon, 2021-09-06 02:05
Author: 
Grace Rose / Grace Rosa SMITH (née BELCHER) [1863-1944]

This is part of the story of Mrs Grace Smith (John Anton-Smith's grandmother), a blind lady who was brought from the UK to Hong Kong to be looked after by her son, Raymond. He employed a lady known only as Chan, who became a devoted companion, to drive her around and otherwise see to her needs. John inherited this battered little diary, measuring only 6cm x 8cm, in which Grace, with the help of an unknown scribe, recounted various events during her time in Stanley Internment Camp.
