I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book.

The newspaper report of his death (page 1, The Hong Kong Telegraph, 1936-12-24) gives an outline of his life:

  • Worked in Hong Kong as a solicitor before WW1.
  • Awarded OBE for war services, ending the war with rank of Major
  • Active with the Volunteers in HK.
  • Joined Hongkong Government service in 1920.
  • Several posts, including Assistant Superintendent of Victoria Gaol, First Clerk at the Magistracy, Magistrate, acting Second Police Magistrate, acting Superintendent of Victoria Gaol.
  • Left c.1930 to become chief of police at Shameen.
  • Keen tennis player.
  • Died in Leicester, UK.

I searched for willson in

  • the photo search at HKPRO: nothing
  • HK Public Library photo collection: nothing
  • HK Museum of History: nothing

He didin't serve in Legco.

No relevant results for willson hong kong in the UKNA.

I haven't found any matches in Family Trees.
