Mark Tsui & Agnes Lin Wedding.jpg

Wedding photo of Mark Tsui Shing-cheung (BAAG No.56) and Agnes Lin Kit-man in 1946 at Roary Church Tsimshatsui. 

Agnes Lin passed away in Hong Kong in January 2015.  Mark Tsui passed away in Toronto in 1996.

Mark Tsui was a Confidential Clerk of BAAG Field Intelligence Group (FIGS) at AHQ Wai Chow.  He was working with his elder brother Paul Tsui (No.65) who was Secretary.  They were the two key members of FIGS at AHQ under Major Ronald Holmes in the Forward postion after AHQ evacuated further north.  The two borthers courted two HK Refugee girls, the Lin Sisters - Rose & Agnes, while they were all living at St. Joseph's Church.  The Church Rectory was being used as a cover for the FIGS confidential office.  The father of the girls was a Retired Major General of the Chinese Cantonese Military, Lin Yin-hung.  Gen. Lin was a Republican Revolutionary who became a militarist under Cantonese Warlord Chen Kwing-ming until 1925.  He was part of the Huangpu Military Academy lot with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and other renowned militarists of the era.  

Paul Tsui married Rose Lin in January 1944 at St. Joseph's Church.  Mark Tsui was at one time transferred to Samfou to assist the set up of Forward Area 2 under Major Colin McEwan. Mark handled intelligence reports of the very outstanding FIGS J-group.  He also drew many of the site plans of the early WIS and KWIZ reports.  Mark & Agnes got married right after the War.  Paul was still in uniform as a member of the British Military Administration in the photograph.

Mark Tsui was awarded the King's Medal for his service.  He continued his interest in military affairs by joining the HK Volunteer Defence Force Post-war, becoming a Staff Sgt under Colin McEwan.  He was Headmaster of the Tsung Him Tong Village Primary School and was active in Adult Education at the same time.  Agnes Lin was a school teacher of Tak Sun School and La Salle College primary section. 

Unfortunately, in recent years, I was not able to derive much information from Agnes regarding life & personalities at BAAG AHQ during the War.
