Sorry, we don't have any photos with this tag yet.
I spotted in the league football second division section of the news in November 1909 a team from the M.R.C. (Moslem Recreation Club). There were a number of recreation clubs in the early history of Hong Kong to cater to all sorts of people residing in the Colony, but this was the first time I have heard of the existence of a M.R.C.
I am looking for any memories or information about my father Leonard A. Adams who was the UK Consular Agent for HK Refugees at Kukong during WW 2 where I was born in 1944. After the war he served as a refugee relief officer for the HK Colonial government from 1945-47 when my mother died and we returned to England and then later moved to the USA. During 1970-72 he served as commander of the Hong Kong Salvation Army until his illness and subsequent death of cancer in January, 1973.
Hi guys. I am new to gwulo.com. Nice to meet you all and learn the history about Hong Kong from all of you.
I took the pictures below last year from Kai Tak Airport Photo Exhibition at Mikiki, San Po Kong. Before the Airport’s closure, I was still very little living in Sham Shui Po. Even though I had never been to the Airport, I was amazed by aeroplanes and engine noise flying over my head. The rest of my impression about Kai Tak is from TV dramas and movies.
Do you have special memories or nostalgia with Kai Tak?
Hi Gwulo Community,
I found this site a few days ago through another old Hong Kong friend and I was so excited to see it and all the wonderful photos.
I watched a documentary about Raleigh Bicycles last night and its founder, Frank Bowden, later to be known as Sir Frank Bowden, 1st Baronet, apparently 'made a fortune in property delelopment in Hong Kong in the 1870's':

He presumably must have been quite a well-known figure in Hong Kong at the time - has any Gwulo researcher come across him?
Hello everyone, I would like to find the source of these portraits of cadets. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I apologize for going through this channel, you are a site well frequented. I know that my father went through Hong Kong in April 1934 for Reunion Island (French overseas department). I am looking for my father's family, he was born in Canton Suntack (see photos attached).
He was born around 1911.
Does any one remember the Paresian Grill Restaurant. Situated in a small allyway next to the Bank of China, I believe on Queens Road Central? It was my favorite restaurant when in port. Albert Bodt, M.D., U.S.S. Coral Sea, CVA 43, 1967 through 1970.
I wonder if anyone can help with any information relating to a major Scouting event held in the football ground of Wah Yan College (Kowloon) in either 1957 or 1958.
Hi all
I am a Master's student of journalsim at the University of Hong Kong.
I am working on a school project about the history of Kowloon Tong, so I am wondering any members have some knwoledge or understanding on the subject matter, especailly between 1960s and 1990s when the business of prostitution was thriving in around that area.
