R E Scott
He appears as "Robert Edward" in the Jurors List for 1923, "Robert" in the next few years' lists, then "Robert Edgar" in the list for 1928.
He wrote an article for The China Mail, on 1946-12-31 (see pages 4 & 5). It noted "I myself have been with them ((Chinese people)) for twenty six years", so he must have arrived in Hong Kong (or possibly China) in 1920.
