Hello, I am new to this forum. I am a current resident in Hong Kong and have recently received some photographs of my Late Grandfather who came here between 1950-52 on the HMS Belfast. It is my intention to take on a personal project exploring a 'then and now' family portrait. I would really value any help or pointers on getting started. I have both books listed here which are wonderful and a selection of other old Hong Kong books. I would be particulary interested in viewing historical images or even purchasing old images but not sure how to go about it. The photograph that I do have can be seen below which I assume references the name of the photographer.
Note: I would like to add a photograph, but can't seem to find the media attachment option.
