Sorry, we don't have any photos with this tag yet.
The 1924 map and the HK Gov Map app together do a great job of identifying lot numbers pin pointing various places.
Is it possible to add a lot number attribute
Thanks to Elizabeth Ride for sharing this speech given by her father, Sir Lindsay Ride. She writes: "My father was on the HK Red Cross committee before the war, and spent time during his leave in Australia in 1940 raising funds for this organisation. He gave the speech below at that time."
FREE CHINA HAS A FLYNN OF ITS INLAND
(Dr. Robert Lim, M.B., D.Sc., F.R.S.E)
The following images were taken by Tony Hawes in (most likely) July 1979. They are taken from the cockpit. He wrote me that he wasn’t stationed in Hong Kong, but visited this city twice – in 1963 and 1979. The images are in the order he remembers.

Dear Colleagues:
I wondered if you could share any potential information that may be in your archives related to the Chinese Red Cross that was headquartered in Hong Kong from 1938 – 1942. My specific interest is the international members of the medical relief corps of the Chinese Red Cross.
Hello,
I'm looking for photos or other material taken in the Ping Shan of the New Territories before 1980. My family had an ancestral memorial (graves) there, within walking distance of Old Ping Shan police station. It was exhumed owing to the development of Hong Kong in the late 80's or so.
The location of the original site has been lost. I would like to collect more images and information of the surrounding area at the time, for the benefit of future generations.
