Good morning. Apart from the obvious - that it is a car badge from POW association - does anyone have additional info - age/who had them etc. Many thanks,
Here is a list of children in Stanley Camp aged up to 16yrs, as at 09/02/1944. This is a list that I typed up maybe 20 years ago and is taken from something that looks fairly official that I was given at a reunion in HKG that I attended in the early days.
Following on from David’s Club Lusitano’s historic propeller story here are two flags that could also be categorised as ‘items of interest displayed on walls’. These framed flags currently hang in the Marine Police Headquarters in Sai Ying Pun.
The first is the Japanese flag that flew over the old Marine Police Headquarters building in Tsim Sha Tsui during the World War II. During the occupation the Japanese navy used the old MPHQ building as a local headquarters.

Hi thete,
There is a Manhole Cover Exhibition at CACHe now. It is approaching its last leg of the slot, but if you are in the area it is worth a visit.
The exhibition is a small one. Anyone who had been to CACHe would know the room is not that big. But the exhibition covered from the ship-building and foundry industires, with scaled models of wooden moulds of the covers. There are also a small collection of the covers in the room.
A copy of the original is available at HKGRO: http://sunzi.lib.hku.hk/hkgro/view/a1936/979.pdf

I saw what looks a lot like a War Department boundary stone at Stanley Military Cemetery yesterday, it's buried up to a point that no markings are visible. See picture, can anyone comment/confirm?
Hi Everyone,
I'm new here at GWULO and I find this website very informative and educational. I have an inquiry about an old address which I find very difficult to locate
since I always get confused about old Hong Kong map markings (M.L. and I.L.) versus original street numbers before and after the reclamations
