赤柱拘留營
During the battle of Hong Kong in the Second World War heavy fighting took place around the college, which was among the last British strongholds to surrender to the Imperial Japanese Army. Shortly after the surrender the Imperial Japanese Army broke into the college (which served as a military hospital during the battle) and murdered wounded soldiers of the Allied forces. (see St. Stephen's College massacre) The Japanese later merged the college with part of Stanley Prison to form the Stanley Internment Camp.
