Hi, I am working on a project looking at Eurasians within the British administration in Hong Kong before WW2 (except those in LegCo and ExeCo). If anyone can suggest any names please let me know, thanks very much!
Sorry I don't know the answer for that. When you say "within the British administration", what would you set as the boundaries for that? eg would it stretch as far as men fighting with the Hong Kong Volunteers, or women in the nursing services?
Thanks for your reply David. I am looking for mostly people working for one of the formal government departments (e.g. department of Harbour, etc). Many thanks,
The Blue Book for 1940 (see http://gwulo.com/hong-kong-blue-books) would list the people in the government departments at that time. You'd need to be able to spot Eurasian families' surnames, but maybe that will help?

Hi Caleb,
