ERNEST STANLEY (1902 - 1990)

Ernest Stanley from England. He was born around 1902 and both he and his Wife died in 1990.

Altho an Internee himself, Ernest Stanley was an interpreter for the Japanese. Many in the camp were afraid to say anything to him because they feared that he was a spy for the Japanese. After the War it was learned that Ernest Stanley was a double agent working for the Allies. Also after the War, he married a Japanese woman.
