This is part of the Official lists of Civilian Internees & Volunteer Defence Forces from 1942.

You can click on the bold column headings, eg Name, to sort the table by the values in that column. (This can make it easier to find a name, as the names in the printed document weren't always listed in alphabetical order.)

Abbreviations in the Unit column:

Those of us who metal detect will of course be familiar with the blank rounds which litter the countryside from British army training in the 80s. However, recently I have found fired bullets (not casings) around various spots in Hong Kong, near or on major hiking routes like the MacLehose trail, sometimes smack dab in the center of the path where hundreds of thousands of hikers have likely trodden.

Semi annual lunch at the American Club in Central.  I can bring 3 guests and David has already accepted.  9 Apr, Friday. 

 

Any takers ?

Hi there,

I read that there was once a cargo/passenger boat service between Hong Kong and Singapore and I'd like to know if you could tell me more about it, especially for the year 1980.

Could you for instance tell me or direct me to a site where I could find the timetables of such a service, the name(s) of the ship(s), the cost, the duration and so on?

Once again, I'd be very glad to hear from you,

Lovely Easter to you all,

Michael

Does anyone have access to Volumes 1, 2 and 3 of this journal, which would cover the early/mid 1930's? Part of Vol 3, all of Vol 4 and part of Vol 5 are in the HKU Library online, but I'm interested in the earlier volumes. Thanks.

I have heard that the RN used Double Haven as an anchorage right up to WW2. If anyone can verify this, and - even better - if they have a photo, please get in touch.

I have also heard that this was the reason for the amazing level of detail of soundings on the Admiralty Chart # 3544 1904-06 - give the young swabbies something to do, over and over again!

Are there any forum members from this community? Perhaps students at La Salle, Tack Ching, or belonging to the. Saint Teresa's parish?

I am a son/Nephew of those who were in there communities. Would like to learn more.

thanks, Peter 

This is a transcript of a speech given by Governor Clementi to Legco on 5 September 1929, talking about the work to provide a reliable supply of water to Hong Kong's residents. He looks back at Hong Kong's earlier efforts, and forward to plans for the near future, giving us a good summary of Hong Kong's water supply in its first 100 years as a British colony. I've added the headings in bold.
