I am trying to establish when Lt Gen Sugden visited Macau in 1955. My father, Lt Col L H Dismore was the British Consul in Macau from 1954 to early 1956, I have many photos of his official visit but cannot establish the exact date - I know it was in the Summer of that year on account of all officials wearing summer uniform. I would also like to know how he arrived. Was it on HMS CARDIGAN BAY, the resident Hong Kong Guardship?
Any help would be much appreciated

If your local library offers access to Proquest, you could see if the SCMP mentioned the trip and the ship: https://gwulo.com/comment/60007#comment-60007
