Submitted by Admin on Fri, 12/23/2016 - 12:11

DoB from John Black's list, which gives Mr Soutar's occupation in 1941 as "Police".

He left the Police Force in 1955, as reported on page 22 of the March 1956 edition of the Hongkong Police Magazine:

Inspector A. Soutar who has completed twenty-six years service with the Force, left the Colony for New Zealand on a well earned retirement on 1st, November, 1955.

E Contingent, Hong Kong Police [1930-????]

Submitted by David on Wed, 08/31/2016 - 21:20

This was made up of Russian policemen:

The problem of piracy had always plagued the waters of Hong Kong for some time when, in 1930, the British armed forces in Hong Kong decided to stop escorting the vessels plying the waters around Hong Kong. This mission naturally fell on the shoulders of the Police Force, which formed an Anti-Piracy Guard by recruiting 25 White Russians. The Police Force classified these Russian policemen as Group E.
