Submitted by moddsey on Fri, 06/14/2024 - 07:09

Attaway retired as Chief Petty Officer and served in the United States Navy from 1912 to 15 January 1929 when he was transferred to the Naval Reserve. He was at that time stationed in Hong Kong.

Attaway married in China in 1932 and adopted an orphaned baby in 1935. It appears Attaway had been living in either Hong Kong or China during the Japanese invasion as he was interned in Stanley Camp and later repatriated in 1942.
