In 1960 the Supt of KWP was ' Dusty ' Rhodes, one of the few ex Shanghai Municipal Policemen ,(originally numbering about 40,who had been recruited to Hong Kong in the immediate post-war period,) to remain in HK, most left on completion of their 2 year contract. I have their details.

Hello there,

I am responding to the post above about Kowloon Wharf Police and Dusty Rhodes. I believe he was my great uncle George Frederick Rhodes who I am researching as part of my family history. If anyone has any further information about him, I would be grateful. I know he was in Shanghai in the 1930’s in the police, and then in Hong Kong. Thank you!
