I am in the process of researching the background to and typing up letters relating to my grandfather Douglas Crozier (he is one of the teachers on the photograph of the Central British School on the home page of your website at present).
He was a Captain in the 2nd Battery of the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps and was a Japanese Prisoner of War, I am not sure where yet. His wife and children were evacuated to Sydney and after the war he was became Director of Education.
