DoB from John Black's list, which gives Willerton's occupation in 1941 as "Police".
Son of Dave & Pat O'Brien.
Hong Kong Police Officer 1970's
Sister - Lorraine
Police Officer in Hong Kong in the 1950's and 1960's.
Married to Patricia O'Brien. Two children - David and Lorraine.
Friends of my parents, Percy and Peggy Lowe. David was my best friend as children, and ultimately joined the Hong Police in the footsteps of his father.
He was my father. My name was formerly Freda Lowe, daughter of Percy and Ena Muriel (Peggy) Lowe.
My father was born in 1912, and died in 1975, aged 63. My mother died in 1990.
He served in the HKP from just after the war in 1945, until he retired in 1966.
I would be happy for anyone who knew him, or any of our family, to contact me through this website :)
1906 DoB from John Black's list, which gives Billingham's occupation in 1941 as "Civil Servant - Police".
Updated DoB from comment below.
I was at the British Library in London in late May `15 looking through their collection of the Hong Kong Police Magazine from the early 1950s to 1970. It provided a fascinating and often humourous glimpse into colonial policing during that era. It was also bi-lingual but I cannot read Chinese. I was actually looking for unusual fauna-related stories and I wasn`t disappointed, I found an account of a Chinese Giant Salamander which I vaguely have a memory of seeing before but it was good to see again.
I've set the DoB based on 1314's comment below. It replaces the 1912 date given in John Black's list, which gives Pile's occupation in 1941 as "police".
