Comments

This is not the same Helen Ho as the one who was awarded the OBE in 1946. The Helen Ho pictured here was the sister of Daphne Ho and Stella Davereux (sp?) nee Ho. The Helen Ho hailed as the wartime hero was the sister of Elaine and Yvonne.  

I'm not sure if she is Helen Ho (何婉衡) or Helen Ho (何婉宜), I only could confirmed Helen Ho (何婉衡)   (sister of Elaine and Yvonne) graduated from Diocesan Girls' School.

Helen Ho was formerly an Almoner

Maybe the same  'Helen Ho' appeared in the 1931 wedding of Mary Ho (何婉和). Also present at the event were Florence, Mrs Ho Cheuk (冼慶祥), Elaine Ho (何婉基) ,Stella Ho (何婉端) and Priscilla Ho (何婉璋).
