//From the entry for David Loie in the BAAG Personnel Register, Ride Collection.
Nationality British (New Zealand-born Chinese), born New Zealand date unknown, Analytical chemist, BAAG September 42 - October 43.
“Loie was employed in the Government Laboratories in Hongkong and during hostilities was a member of the Hongkong Police Reserve. After the surrender he was compelled to continue his work in the Government Laboratories, but at the same time, he organised a group of workers from amongst the Police reserve and immediately offered their services to the BAAG. Having access to all the work in his department, he was able to pass on most accurate and valuable information concerning the economic position of the Japanese in Hongkong. In 1943, his group was betrayed and he was arrested, tortured unmercifully and executed. While alive, his work was of the utmost value and the whole scheme was organised and planned by him, and his conduct in prison proved him to be a man of most outstanding courage and loyalty.” (signed) L T Ride, Colonel. 1945.

//日軍反間諜行動
1943年春,日本憲兵隊展開行動,打擊地下抵抗活動。是年3月,位於沙頭角的中共據點遭到突襲,而國軍特務人員的秘密基地亦遭破獲。
日軍亦曾以運送金錢到赤柱拘留營為名,拘捕司徒永覺醫生;及後又因此案拘捕數名銀行家及醫護人員。日軍懷疑司徒永覺是英軍在港情報系統的首領;被捕者還包括匯豐銀行大班祈禮賓,他最終因為遭受酷刑及營養不良,在赤柱監獄離世。
1943年4月,日本憲兵隊又成功滲透英軍服務團及戰俘營之間的聯繫網絡。是時,印度獨立聯盟成員冒充印軍軍官安沙里上尉,誘使英軍服務團情報人員暴露身份,並使安沙里因此被捕。砵蘭街的Z站亦被日軍破獲。同年5月,「C組」有成員背叛,數名人員被捕,當中包括一名貨車司機,他一直負責為戰俘送遞訊息。
7月1日,日軍又逼令一名和英軍服務團合作的司機在亞皆老街戰俘營向戰俘傳遞假訊息。日軍計謀得逞以後,亞皆老街及深水埗戰俘營內官兵數人被捕。7月10日,紐臨上校被捕。
同日被日本憲兵隊拘捕者,還包括霍德上尉、皇家空軍的加利中尉,以及身處深水埗戰俘營的皇家加拿大通訊軍團萊歷治中士。至此,戰俘營地下抵抗活動的中堅份子大多被捕。
日軍亦破獲了英軍服務團的情報網。1943年4月,日軍登上在澳門的西安號輪船,在船上發現文件,記載了英軍服務團其中一個情報組的資料。日軍由此得知英軍服務團在香港擁有情報網。憲兵隊旋即在市內搜捕英軍服務團人員,並在5月31日拘捕「M組」首領雷福榮;他隨即自殺,以免被迫供出他人。
結果,華洋軍民被捕者超過二百人,其中約四十人遭處決,包括紐臨、霍德,以及加利,英軍服務團情報人員包括George Kotewall、劉德愛(雷福榮伴侶)、劉德光(劉德愛兄弟)、李林(戰俘營司機)、曾德、曾耀生兄弟(情報員,其父曾協助與啟德機場的戰俘聯絡)、楊守德(自日本海軍工作部竊取圖則)等。
其餘被捕者則遭受酷刑及囚禁,直至日本投降為止。莫德庇少將曾要求日軍釋放他的官兵,但最終與其他高級戰俘被送到台灣囚禁。//
