Notes

On 29 October 1943 J D Fraser (the former Hong Kong Defence Secretary), Walter Scott (Assistant Commissioner of Police), and five other British internees found in possession of an illicit radio, along with twenty six Chinese and Indian prisoners who had assisted the covert British Army Aid Group, were executed on Stanley beach. Among the group was Captain M A Ansari, an Indian officer of 5th Battalion 7th Rajput Regiment who would be awarded a posthumous George Cross for his loyalty in the face of torture.
