Cornelis Koster - what was his story?
Dear reader,
Which details would Hong Kong archives hold on Cornelis Koster? He was born in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, in 1900 and was burried in Hong Kong in 1926, at the age of 26. Who was his fiancée, mentioned on his gravestone? I could not find him in a business directory, did he work in Hong Kong? Where did he live?
Your help is appreciated.
Best regards,
Pieter Lommerse
