Son of missionary parents, Nell and Abel Walker Hall who pioneered a church in Tai Po Market. Born in Hong Kong in 1941 and only six weeks old at the time of the Japanese invasion.

After Hong Kong had fallen, the Halls were interned in one room in the Kowloon Hotel together with the Park family, who were also missionaries, prior to their removal to Stanley Internment Camp. The Hall family was repatriated to the United States in 1942.
