The link to your site was given to me by my cousin.
My Name is Kenneth Robertson, Tinneke Robertson nee Offenberg is my Mother, her birthday is 21 April 1933.
My Grandfather was a POW in Hong Kong, being a member of the HKVDC at the time.
I have also been told that the Robertson family or related family, have been in Hong Kong since before the Boxer Rebellion, (I have a minature of a medal issued at the time)
Thanks for the extra information. I've updated your mother's details. Any stories of the family's time in Hong Kong will be good to hear.
You might be interested to subscribe to the daily diary entries from Stanley Camp (https://gwulo.com/node/35575) to get an idea of conditions there.
We're always interested to learn more about families with a connection to Hong Kong, so if you can tell us more about the Robertsons that will be good to read too. (Here are a few Robertson names already on the site.)
