I am trying to locate the burial location of my grandfather (David Albert G. Alison) who died on 30 January 1926 in Hong Kong. The only burial reference I have is Church of England Cemetery. I would appreciate any assistance in locating the burial location as we will be visiting Hong Kong for a few days from 14 October.
