BUILDINGS.
Does anyone have information or old photographs of this site (it is now occupied by Asia Society Hong Kong Center)? The site was built and occupied by the British army between 1863-1910.
Hi, does anyone knows how long it should take by ship from Shanghai to Hong Kong. I am currently looking at an Italian merchant. North China Herald reported that he departed from Shanghai to HK on March 12, 1902 taking Sachsen, while I cannot find his record on HK's newspaper such as China Mail and Hong Kong Telegraph.
Thanks in advance!
This is a book that anyone interested in WW11 in Hong Kong will find interesting and valuable.
Please does anyone know where to buy the small plastic / polythene sleeves used for protecting old photos & postcards? I bought a couple of packs of them in the UK a few years ago, but they're just about all used up.
Regards, David
The Hong Kong War History Research Association have an exhibition at the Kwun Tong Promenade, on from now until the end of November. They have a replica P-40 plane, several videos playing, and displays with photos and text.
These panels had an interesting set of photos taken from American planes bombing ships in the harbour:
This topic was moved from http://gwulo.com/atom/22944 to the forum section. I think digitizing of slides is of general interest.
I'm happy that my most of 1980's images are so clear and sharp. There might be two reasons for that: First one is that Kodachrome 25 colour slide films were really good - only 25 ASA, but with very high resolution. This in conjunction with the 50mm lens of my Asahi Pentax ES2 - unfortunately broken long time ago.
Hi David,
Today I read on a Chinese newspaper that someone called "David" with metal detector in hand had found a British WWII hand grenade in Wong Ngai Chung. The police was called and the grenade detonated. Was that you or anyone who frequents Gwulo?
