This is a photo of my Grandfather, George Flynn with his 2 daughters, Peggy and Patsy, in the garden of their China Maritime Customs accommodation on Hainan Island. The photo would have been taken in the mid 1930's. My mother was born in Hong Kong in 1932, but the family were moved about frequently from various ports operated by the CMCS.
