  Biography of Harold John Timperley
Harold John Timperley (also referred to as H.J or Harold J) was correspondent for the Manchester Guardian (and other newspapers and agencies) during the 1930s in China.
The excellent Timperley genealogy website (www.timperley.org) makes it clear that Harold was the son of Frederick Henry Timperley (1863-1905) and that he had a sister Dorothy Ethel Timperley (1900-1980) who married her cousin Hubert Arthur Lionel Timperley (1890-1954).
Harold started working as a journalist in China in 1928 and appears to have been well-known among the more progressive section of the foreign community.

 Education | Japanese rewrite Guardian history
Harold Timperley, the China correspondent of the Manchester Guardian (the newspaper's original name), chronicled the massacre in his dispatches from Shanghai and in a widely read book, The Japanese terror in China.
Timperley's book was based on the world of a small group of foreigners in Nanjing who risked their lives to protect thousands of civilians from rape and murder after the city - the capital of nationalist China - was occupied in December 1937.
Timperley left journalism to become an adviser to the Chinese ministry of information in 1939, but continued to be consulted by the editor of the Guardian, WP Crozier.

Harold John Timperley was an Australian journalist, known for his reporting from China in the 1930s, and the book What War Means (1938) based on it.
It is not contested that he took a strongly anti-war line, and on a personal level was friendly with Japanese including the Shanghai Domei News Agency chief Matsumoto Shigeharu.
Some of the statistics Timperley used have been mis-employed by subsequent writers taking What War Means as a source.

The news dispatch was written by Harold Timperley, the China-based correspondent of the Manchester Guardian on Jan. 16, 1938 -- about one month after the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese troops began in mid-December of 1937.
The Timperley dispatch, part of which was reported in the Guardian newspaper on Oct. 14 this year, said the death toll mentioned in the story came from "one competent foreign observer."
Timperley, who died in 1954, said he investigated the reported atrocities committed by the Japanese army in "Nanjing (and) elsewhere" after he returned to Shanghai.

 Timperley Coat of Arms
Immediately following the death of Edward, Earl Harold Godwinson was elected and coronated king by the English nobility, and he became known as King Harold II.
A seat or family seat was the principal manor of a medieval lord, which was normally an elegant country mansion and usually denoted that the family held political and economic influences in the area.
It is hard to say exactly when man first came to the lands that were to become the British Isles, but it can be said with certainty that Paleolithic tribes were flourishing there by 8000 BC.

 Why Japan Remains a Threat to Peace and Democracy in Asia by Kenichi Asano Censored 2004
Harold Timperley, correspondent to China for the then-Manchester Guardian newspaper of Britain, of "creating" the story of the massacre.
Kitamura stresses that Timperley, author of the widely read book "The Japanese Terror in China," was an agent of the Chinese Kuomintang, the nationalist party then in government.
I too firmly believe that the number of victims of the massacre committed by Japan is still not clear, simply because the Japanese government has burnt or otherwise nullified evidence of its crimes all over the world.

 Re: Nanking--how many were slaughtered?
Moreover, the issue of Timperley's whereabouts is subsidiary to the problem of the telegram being widely misattributed to Japan's foreign minister.) I suspect that the reason Mr.
Simmons did not see the Hirota telegram challenged in the reviews he read is that nearly all the reviewers of her book were not experts in the field.
Timperley's cable (S.I.S. #1263) was received from Shanghai as #176 and sent to Washington by Hirota on Jan. 17, 1938, two days earlier than the explanatory note (S.I.S. #1257), received from Shanghai as #175.

 Re: Nanking--how many were slaughtered?
Given the fact that the Chinese government's representative reportedly said 430,000 at the Trial in Tokyo and Brackman, who was at the Trial, placed the figure accepted at the Trial at a minimum of 250,000 (evidently for a 6-week period), this issue of numbers is far from buried.
We also have Iris Chang's statement (which she says was derived from the War Crimes Archives) that Timperley's information was employed by the Foreign Minister and Brackman reported the evidence at the Trial showing that the minister was certainly in the loop.
Taking Timperley out of Nanking does not mean he did not have access to the information.

On January 17, 1938, when Japan's Foreign Minister, Hirota Koki, sent a message to his contact in Washington D.C., the cable was intercepted by American intelligence and translated into English.
According to the translation, which is now available at the National Archives, Timperley also reported about robbery, rape, and other brutal conduct by the Japanese troops that were going on in the walled city.
In 1947 at the Nanking War Crimes Tribunal, the verdict of Lieutenant General Tani Hisao, the commander of the 6th Division, quoted the figure of more than 300,000 victims.

While the Chinese government puts the death toll at 300,000 in Nanjing alone, some Japanese historians argue the figure is overstated, with some putting the death toll at only several thousand, others at several tens of thousand, and still others at 200,000.
The Timperley dispatch, dated Jan. 16, 1938, and which was partly reported in the Guardian newspaper on Oct. 14 this year, said the death toll mentioned in the story came from ''one competent foreign observer.''
The Guardian, as the Manchester Guardian is now known, says Japanese authorities who got hold of the Timperley cable through press censors were concerned about a possible international uproar and sent its contents to Japanese diplomatic missions.

 Nanking Atrocities - In the 1990s   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
This was probably the first time a figure of hundreds of thousands was officially mentioned in the Second Sino-Japanese War, although Chiang's estimate included all the battlefronts in China since the beginning of hostilities on July 7, 1937.
On January 11, 1938, a correspondent for the Manchester Guardian, Harold Timperley, apparently tried to cable a similar estimate but was censored out by the Japanese authority in Shanghai because in his report it was "not less than 300,000 Chinese civilians" who were slaughtered in cold blood in "Nanking and elsewhere."
His message was relayed from Shanghai to Tokyo to be sent out to the Japanese Embassies in Europe and the United States.

 The Lincoln Plawg - the blog with footnotes
Whilst the abuse of history for political ends is in full spate in Anglo-America - the Munich analogy (as previous discussed here and here) very much to the fore - the Japanese are still doing their bit when it comes to their own historical 'warhorses'.
But this time, the Ethiopian in the fuel supply is none other than the much-beloved Guardian (or Manchester Guardian, as it then was), and its correspondent Harold Timperley: according to some Yasukuni yacker, the guy is supposed to have made the massacre story up, as agent for the Kuomintang!
if Timperley wasn't propagandising, the Chinese - KMT or Communists - certainly have been: he put those killed that were unarmed at 40,000, the Chinese make it 300,000 (based on a blatant falsification of Timperley's reports).
