Potts or Hutton Potts? Joanna writes:
... while most of the family use just "Potts" our correct surname is HUTTON POTTS without a hyphen ...

Lyall GLENDINNING [1913-c.1948]
In 1947 Lyall Glendinning is mentioned with Talanglemos Ltd. Does anyone know what Talanglemos Ltd. was? Mystery surrounds Lyall, he was in the HKVDC, a POW in both HK and Japan, after the war he applied to live in Australia, but he disappeared c.1948, I believe in HK. Gradually piecing his life together, I have used Tony's website, the National Archives of Australia and family trees on Ancestry.com.au. Looking through jurors lists I have found he was an Assistant at Mackintosh's Ltd. Does anyone know what they were involved in? Any little clue would be helpfull. Thanks.
