Submitted by David on

Chris Yuen (Gwulo username 'C') is visiting Hong Kong and hopes to meet some other Gwulo regulars:

I wonder if you meet regularly and whether I can join the next one.  I will be in HK for about 3 weeks around Christmas and New Year's.  It would be great to meet up with you, philk, 80sKid, aetse, moddsey, tngan and Lawrence Tsui (I believe the latter two are fellow alumni of Wah Yan College) as well as other contributors.

The Industrial History of Hong Kong Group

This group, formed in November 2012, is for anyone who has an interest in the Industrial History of Hong Kong. From textiles to trams, salt to shipbuilding, it’s a fascinating part of HK’s history. We cover manufacturing, transport, utilities, mining and quarrying, telecommunications and aspects of fishing and agriculture.

Hi all,

As yet, I'm no closer to finding out where and when my parents married.  However, I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me to learn how my father fared before and during the occupation - it's meant a great deal to me.

 

HONGKONG 1960 SERVICEMAN

Submitted by les1936 on

I am a newcomer to this site. I dont particularly want to start s new item - I expect many of the things I know something about have already been discussion topics, but its a way of getting started.

I was in HK as a national serviceman in1959/61 stationed in Victoria barracks , Wanchai.

I knew the Fleet Club well.  I have a small number of photos and various memories if there is anyone interested.
