Hi there,

What an amazing archive of historic HK on this website!

I was browsing the topic on air-raid precaution tunnels - again, amazed at the wealth of information - though I didn't see the one-and-only I knew when I was in HK, the one on Wong Nai Chung Road, along the huge stone wall next to St. Pauls Primary School? (At the foot of St. Paul's Secondary School). Is that an air-raid shelter of sort? Anyone knows anything about it?

Best,

Zenning

The following article appeared in the South China Morning Post on 30th August:

The article is part of the SCMP's "Spirit of Hong Kong" series. Thank you to Paul Zimmerman of Designing Hong Kong for nominating me, and to Annemarie Evans and May Tse of the SCMP for the writing and photography.

Besides William Jardine Gresson on the left, Sir Paul Chater on the right side,,(Sir Henry May holding a Starter's Flag not showing) in a group photo with other HKJC members and Stewards;

Besides William Gresson, Paul Chater, Henry May, who else could be identified?

I have just acquired a book presented by Captain Elliot to an Adam (unreadable) dated 14August1841. It contains a plate from the Macao Book Society - which has a list of 13 members names hand written on the plate which serves as a lending record - lent / returned. The names are hard to read - Elliot is one - others appear to include Vachelle, Layton, Stewart, Allforth

I would be interested in hearing any views on the book society and timing of the gift given this was about the period Elliot was dismissed.
