Evacuees

National Archives of Australia Website
The 1941-1942 'Singapore Evacuation Lists' for arrivals in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide.

For several years the Western Australia arrivals passenger lists have been digitised  and searchable for free on the National Archives of Australia website. These have proved very useful for 'Malaya' and evacuees research and enquiries. The National Archives of Australia has now digitised  the following:: Volumes of inward passenger lists - ships - April 1940 to March 1942 and March 1942 to August 1945 covering Melbourne arrivals and also Passenger lists, inwards ships, Sydney [Form M308] [January to December 1942].  They contain the names of hundreds of evacuees from Singapore.
Singapore Evacuees Sheet A
Singapore Evacuees Sheet B
Singapore Evacuees Sheet C

So many members of M.V.G. were child evacuees from Singapore that it seems appropriate for us to include a section on the subject.

This will include:

Information and articles on particular evacuation ships. We are particularly indebted to MVG member, Captain John Bax for information on Blue Funnel Line ships.

An on-going master list of evacuees with their evacuation ships and destinations where known. We start with Surnames A to C and welcome any corrections, further details or additions to the list. The list will include evacuees who were lost at sea but not those who were interned in Sumatra, many of whom died in captivity. For any information on these people contact Jonathan Moffatt.

Evacuees lists A to Z taken off for updating. If you have a query about an individual please send a message from our Enquiries section and we will get back to you.

For evacuation ships which left during 11-13 February 1942, please refer to the ‘Evacuation Ships’ section.
