Elizabeth Choy

Elizabeth Choy, who died on September 14 aged 95,
risked her life supplying medicine, money and messages to
British civilians interned in Singapore's Changi Jail during
the Second World War.

She and her husband, Choy Khun Heng, who were running
a canteen, incurred further risk by sending in radio parts
for hidden receivers on a daily ambulance run until the
Japanese instituted a crackdown after a British-Australian
commando raid sank seven Japanese ships outside the harbour
in September 1943.
