Hello,

If this email address is still being monitored, I wanted to chime in and say that my parents (an American man and a Russian woman) were interned at Weihsien…”Rich” and Jenny Richardson. They lived in Block 32
I’m amazed at and happy to find all this documentation!

Dear Friends: all best wishes for this special season.

And we hope that all is going well with you all even though we are getting on in years. Isn't it a surprise that we are living quite active lives after our rather rough start! I always think those eggshells were the most brilliant idea to enhance our diet.
Our love.

I had to refer a brother of a good friend of mine from here is rural New Brunswick to our website as he was very curious about my early life. So nice to be able to say: you can read all about it in the Weihsien site.
So again many thanks!!!

Dear Leopold,

I am so grateful for your reply. To read the information you provided was the greatest revelatory moment I've had since I began researching my ancestors' past. Peter Monaghan was a just a name to my brother Paul and I hitherto.

We'll now go on to buy the book expand our search through Facebook and for me start reading through the website's stories.
Thank you so much again for your help it is really so much appreciated,
Kind regards,
Neil Farrell

Dear Neil,
Received your message 😊

Of course, you can search the Weihsien-paintings website and you will certainly find “Margorie Elizabeth Monaghan” in Ron Bridge’s listings.
GoTo:
http://www.weihsien-paintings.org/RonBridge/habitants/weihsien02.xls

On the Weihsien-painting’s website HomePage, there is a book you can certainly buy:
http://www.captives-of-empire.com/

… and on page 639 (yes! It is a big book)

Monaghan Peter-Joseph
Age 47
British
Banker ― Hong Kong Shanghai Bank
Imprisoned: Stanley.
I do not have “Facebook” but I think that the ex-prisoners of Stanley still have a chat list on Facebook. As you are of the “young generation” I trust that you will find your way and that somebody will be able to help you.

I am also sending this message to the Weihsien folks.
Best regards,
Leopold

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to respectfully ask if you may be able to point me in the right direction in my search for the name Peter Monaghan.
He worked at the HSBC bank in Java in 1942 and after the Japanese invaded was never heard of again.
He was married to my grandmother Vera.

I expect you are inundated with work and fully understand if you have no time to reply.
Thank you,
Kind regards,
Neil Farrell
