This is a post
card I wrote to
my cousin, Mary,
while enroute to
Hong Kong.
Note how really
newsy it was,
limited by the
necessities of
secrecy. Loose
lips sink ships,
and all that.The
message on the
front of the card
has more news in
it than the back.

| A Post Card To Mary |
In the picture directly above we see
most of the group.I am guessing, but I
believe the man with the cello is Major
Parker. Squatting beside him could be
Lieut.Reg Simons. Standing, left to
right, could be Lieut Ian Breakey,
Lieut. Angus MacMillan,Lieut
Blaver,and the rest I am not sure of.

The three pictures on the left feature
Sonny Castro, a ï¿¿Portuguese chap
who had been with the Hong Kong
Volunteer Defence Corps. His features
were so effeminate that he was in
demand for every role that called for
the presence of a girl. Who the men
are, I don't know, but the one in the
bottom picture could be Angus
MacMillan.

All the props had to be constructed out
of whatever material could be found.
Stewart Henderson and Ampi built the
cello for Major Parker out of scraps of
metal and whatever else they could find.

The pictures must have been taken by
the Japanese. None of us would have
been permitted the use of a camera.
