Mentioned in the list of civilian internees:

Arthur Rylands Lowe became Hong Kong's first full-time professional accountant in June 1902. He also set up an office in Shanghai in 1906 with J.E. Bingham as partner. When F.N. Matthews joined the partnership, the firm became known as Lowe, Bingham & Matthews "LBM" for short. It was the antecedent of PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Lowe was a stalwart of the British community in Hong Kong, an unofficial member of LEGCO,  secretary of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, Chairman of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and President of the Lawn Bowls Association of Hong Kong.

In his early career, Capt. Richard Lindsay Stephen Gaisford, RN, OBE was one of the  officers on HM Submarine L3 serving on the China Station in 1928-29. Photos taken by Capt. WR Fell at the time show him with fellow officers enjoying walking and boating excursions in and around Hong Kong. He married Cecily Margaret de Vitré in 1933. From 1940-1942 he served on HMS Clyde and HMS Vansittart respectively.
