From L-R : Misha (Michael) Mihaleff (Lindy's godfather), his wife Olga, my mother (Lila Pio-Ulski), Lindy, ??, and the guy in the jeep (in his RN uniform) but who was he?

Thanks Nona, these are good to see, as we don't have many from so soon after the liberation of Hong Kong. Good to see the smiling faces too, after all that they'd been through.

He he you're right, for some reason I thought the road below Cameron Mansions (the one whose plinth was the Japanese War Memorial) was called Cameron Road.  It's actually the extension of Magazine Gap Road past Magazine Gap.  There is a Mount Cameron Road further down where Coombe Road starts, but that's neither here nor there!
