In December 1941, Sub-Lieutenant Legge was part of the crew of MTB 11.

He took part in the Christmas Day escape with Admiral Chan Chak.

He is in a couple of the photos showing the escape party after they'd safely arrived at Waichow (see http://www.mwadui.com/HongKong/Waichow.htm). That page lists him as:

He's listed in the 1938 Jurors List as working for Jardines, but I don't see him in other years' lists.

In December 1941 he was a Lieutenant in the HKRNVR, commander of MTB 27.

After the British surrender he took part in the famous escape with Admiral Chan Chak on Christmas day, 1941.
