Escape to China
After being a prisoner of the Japanese since the fall of Hongkong, Lieutenant R. B. Goodwin, R.N.Z.N.V.R., of Auckland, has escaped to China. His mother, Mrs. E. E. Goodwin, has recently received letters written by him in Kunming. He was one of the first 10 New Zealand yachtsmen to be selected as probationary sub-lieutenants early in 1940, and he served at Singapore and eventually Hongkong, where he was wounded in the thigh and captured. He was cared for in a hospital and a convent before being imprisoned in Camp N., Hongkong.
