Notes from 1314:
George HORSPOOL [1844-1926]
Senior Hong Kong policeman in the late 19th century
His son was Fred Horspool born in Hong Kong 1884.
"THE appointment of Mr. George Horspool, Acting Deputy Superintendent of Police, to be Acting Captain Superintendent, has been officially gazzetted. This is a step in the right direction and one that, we trust, will be consistently followed in all departments of the Government Service where the deputy is capable of taking over and efficiently performing the duties of his immediate chief."
Robert PATTERSON [1849-1899]
Police Constable (No. 23) in the Hong Kong Police Force who had served his full fifteen years tenure having joined on 12th August 1884 but tragically died just before he was about to retire on his pension and travel back home to the British Isles with his wife. He had previously served in the Irish Constabulary, the 93rd Highland Regiment and the Dundee Police Force before being posted to Hong Kong.
