Prince of Wales visit 1922

Submitted by RenoTommy on

I came across of a photo provided by this site on the internet depicting the 1922 Prince of Wales visit to Hong Kong.  My question is, who was the Prince of Wales at that time......Duke of Windsor or KGVI?  I tried to zoom in but the image of the subject sitting on a "sedan chair" was too blurry. And I believe the Governor was walking beside the Prince of Wales. 

Was QEII the first British Monarch ever visited Hong Kong?  Has she ever visited China?

Wartime Lantau

Submitted by David on

I haven't ever seen much written about Lantau's experience of the second world war. But last week I read about it twice!

First was Suzannah's description of the War Crimes in Hong Kong, including "Kempeitai and [Japanese] Army attacks on villages such as at Silver Mine Bay". We'll learn more about that when her online database goes live next month.

3 November 1941 - Liquor Licences

Submitted by annelisec on

SEARCH FOR: "Licensing Sessions"

While following the Gwulo trail to the Chardhaven Hotel's liquor licence in 1938, I came across the last meeting of the Liquor Licencing Board on 4 November 1941.  The most poignant was a new application for "The Halfway House" 9 Taipo Road.  I have not yet found out if Charles Choy was granted a licence ...

For those who may not know, the literal translation of the Chinese for "hotel"- "jau dim (酒店)"  is "liquor shop".

Anybody here was with the last hockey team?  I think I still have the bronze medal somewhere.

BTW I attended the school for 1 year only so I am not surprise if anyone remembered.
