Henry Stephen Jones appears in the 1928 Jurors List as an accountant working with the Hong Kong Electric Company. His place of residence was the European YMCA on Salisbury Road which suggests that he had arrived in Hong Kong during this period. In subsequent years, his full name appears intermittently on the Jurors List.
On business and company lists, his name appears as "H. S. Jones". The 1941 $ Directory provides the connection of Jones being a staff member of Hong Kong Electric and 2nd Lieutenant in the HKVDC.
During the Battle of Hong Kong, 2nd Lieutenant Jones was in No. 1 Battery of the HKVDC manning D’Aguilar Battery. On 19 December 1941, Jones and his men withdrew to Stanley. 2nd Lieutenant Jones died on Christmas Day 1941.
