I'm looking for photos of Walter Meredith Deane, to be used in the Central Police Station project. If you know of any, please could you let me know in the comments below?

He's of interest because he was the longest serving head of the police force. The Police's "Offbeat" has an article that mentions him:

[...] when Walter Meredith Deane succeeded Mr Quin in 1867, a precedent was set of having a Cadet Officer from Britain to head the Hong Kong Police Force.

Eric Himsworth was in Stanley (he was also in the Tai Koon Hotel when I was).  His wife Emily (also in camp) was a nursing sister. Their son (the first) Brooke, was born in camp. Emily was nursing in the Jockey Club Hospital with my Mum and others when the Japanese burst in.
