HI I was a serving Inspector in the RHPF in the aerly seventies > Iam bisiting HK next year and wondered if the old training school at Womg Cuk Hang is still in existence, as I would very much like to see it as I haven't been back since 1974
Hi guys, love what you're doing on this site - always something good to read about our great city. I came across a unique building the other day which has been abandoned but is still guarded. I got a look around thanks to the guard but he had no information about it. Inside there was a lot of old dated knick-knacks - it was like time had stood still.
Was saddened to hear of the death of Leslie Thomas who's novel The Virgin Soldiers mirrored the lives of so many National Servicemen who served their time in Singapore and the Far East during the 1950's.
RIP, Les.

My father’s diary entry for 1st July, 1944 records a telephone message from his niece Florrie Wong to say that her brother Freddie was “not home since last night”, and the entry for 14th August, 1944 records another telephone message from her to say that “Freddie, Benny Randall and others home”.
