Very good accomodation on this freighter. Stopped and over-indulged in eating of seafoods at the well known Parisian Grill in Hongkong.

Wartime wedding

Places shown in this photo: 
St. Joseph's Church (2nd generation) [1876-1967]

The wedding of Thomas Edgar and Evelina d'Oliveira, June 29, 1942.

Thomas Edgar was a baker, and not at that time interned in Stanley. Evelina was Portuguese, but voluntarily entered Stanley when Tom was interned in 1943.

The Japanese man in the photo is almost certainly Lieutenant Tanaka (not the Tanaka who was executed for war crimes), a man whose helpfulness to Allied prisoners was recorded by Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke.

The church I believe to be St. Joseph's.
