Submitted by Barbara Landau… on

Polly was my aunt.second marriage to Hughes .she had a daughter...Polly had been during the war in a Japanese camp in China..with my grandmother.

Polly married Hughes after the war..he was a policeman..I remember visiting them at the police accommodation Kowloon very near the star ferry...you had to walk up a ramp with enormous trees.

Hughes was her second marriage..the first one was to some US serviceman when she was in her teens...but that was Shanghai.
