Anthonij BOSJE (aka Antony) [1902-????]
[Update 2020: Antony Bosje's grand-daughter has been in touch in the comments below and says that the man in the photo below isn't Antony, and that Antony never worked in Hong Kong. So the original owner of the album, and the identity of the man in the photo, are mysteries.]
He was the original owner of a small photo album I bought a few years ago. The seller included this note:
