我們會在將來細說他們的故事。
[Faces of War] 79 years ago, the Japanese Occupation Government in Hong Kong executed 33 men and women for "espionage". The executed were charged with working with the British Army Aid Group or possessing a radio set in the Stanley Internment Camp. George Wright-Nooth of Hong Kong Police recorded their execution in his memoir:
In view of recent rumours about supposed sentences imposed on the European prisoners in gaol an incident which happened this afternoon has upset everybody. ... At about 2.00 pm a big, light brown car flying a military flag went into the gaol. It contained three Japanese civilians ... behind came another car. ... A few minutes later the big prison van left the prison with three Indian guards standing on the step at the rear . .. it was followed by the two cars. ... As it made its way slowly along the road to get round the prison corner it passed a few internees who heard a European voice from the van call, 'Good-bye'. I believe it may have been Fraser or Scott... When the van arrived at the wharf other people saw about thirty prisoners, and what they swear to be three Europeans amongst them, being marched by guards along the short distance to the execution ground.
The document shown here is a notice posted at the Stanley Internment Camp about the execution of seven internees and the imprisonment of four others in this incident. Those that were executed include J. A. Fraser (Defence Secretary), C. F. Hyde (manager of the Hongkong Bank), W. R. Scott (Deputy Commissioner of Police), Preston Wong (St. Paul's College), F. W. Bradley (health inspector), D. W. Waterton and H. S. Rees (Wireless Department), Frederick Hall (Lane Crawford's) and Chester Bennett (Loxley's). As stated in the document, the internees were not allowed to mourn the dead.
The names of the victims (their age in brackets) can be found in the Chinese text above. Their stories will be discussed in the future posts.
