Wilfred Reed is the father of angie-r, on whose behalf I am posting some details of his life. Information about his brothers' role in the Battle for Hong Kong and his own role in safeguarding the female members of his family is given in the post on Robert Cyril Reed. Margaret Annie Bond, also mentioned on this site was great-aunt to the Reed brothers and Lucretia Murray, wife of Patrick, was their aunt. Amaro and Maria Reed were their parents. Willie Reed was an outstanding sportsman and played hockey for Middlesex.

Thanks, David, and thanks too for the link to the China Mail article.  I didn't realize at first that you were providing the link to the 1940 China Mail article, and apologize for my confusion.  That was a wonderful article and I really appreciated reading about my father playing such a  great game.  I also noted that his youngest brother Reggie was also in the team.
