Most mentions of H. E. Wodehouse are in connection with his son, the author P G Wodehouse. But I'm interested in H. E. because of his work as a magistrate in Hong Kong. I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book.

[...] 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.
He was Postmaster General of Hong Kong from 1902 until his death in 1908. Sharon Oddie Brown has posted:

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.
