Sorry, we don't have any photos with this tag yet.
My grandmother Henriette Aitken was interned with her son Edward Aitken. She was French and on liberation of Stanley Camp she raised the French flag. My father is certain that photos were taken but we can only find the British flag raising ones. Does anyone know of the whereabouts of the flag raising for the other nations internees?
Hi. I'm trying to locate our family friend (who also happened to be our domestic helper) that we've lost contact with over the years. We last saw her in Hong Kong about 10 years ago and haven't heard from her since. We used to exchange Christmas Cards and the last time we were in HK her phone line had been disconnected.
A few years back I wrote about a wedding which took place in HK in August 1936. The story got started with a photograph provided to me by Judy Bercene, which showed her relative Sheila Haynes as one of the Bridesmaids.
Hello. My gggrandfather died in Hong Kong in 1858 where he served as a member of the Medical Staff Corps. I have some details (including his death and burial date) but he was accidentally killed and I believe there was a coroners report. I have searched the HK Public Record Office but am unable to find coroners reports. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks, tomcrean
When you're looking at a photo on Gwulo, there are often times you'd like to take a closer look at some detail. This video shows how to use the Zoom feature:
Seeing the recent photograph of the gunners in Hong Kong 1911 prompts me to post a similar picture taken in 1917 of the Army Ordnance Department. I have no idea where the photo was taken nor any further details.
The chap in shorts is my great grandfather who, on retiring from the army, returned to Hong Kong and served as secretary of the Hong Kong Club from 1923 for about 10 years.
Could anyone provide information on Charles Barber, who apparently moved to Hong Kong sometime after 1945 and died in Koowloon in January 1973? Barber, representing the Motion Picture Association, was a key player in the attempt to merge and nationalize Hong Kong's electricity companies in the late 1950s. According to a family history, he worked for Hong Kong Electric and later was the editor and/ or publisher of a Kowloon newspaper called the Far East American. - any information on this newspaper also would be appreciated.
If one exists, I should like to access a girl-guiding photo of my aunt, Evelyn Warren, https://gwulo.com/node/11558 if the Hong Kong Girl Guides have an archive of group photos. David posted a reference to her departure and Mrs Reed's from Hong Kong and their work with the Girl Guides in "The Report on Girl Guides 1922". Evelyn was the only daughter of my grandfather C.E. Warren and returned to Hong Kong to live with him for three years after leaving school in 1919.
There are different opinions about where exactly Felice Beato (the photographer) took these photos.
I'm looking for some information on a Western woman (Russian mother; lived in TST) named Lindy who was born in HK around 1940 and went to KGV. Does anyone know if the school's student rolls are available for viewing?
