I was most interested to finally see [... Comment moved to Leon Blumenthal page]
re: List of Prison Officers in 1940
Hi Joyce, this is a good reference, thanks for posting.
Please can I check the source? it looks like it might be from the Blue Book for that year?

"RETIREMENTS, DEATH, ETC"
Dear David,
you are right. It's from Blue Book.
BTW, I have another list titled "RETIREMENTS, DEATH, ETC" which was copied from HKU Library. It's 45 pages, listed most of the HK Govt Senior Officers died during wartime or left the service post war. (pls see attached Willcocks, James Eugard). Haven't checked through the upload yet, don't know if you have this collection. I may upload here.

re: "RETIREMENTS, DEATH, ETC"
Hi Joyce, I haven't seen that document before. It looks very useful for people researching wartime Hong Kong, so your upload will be very welcome.
Please could you also include the HKU Library reference, for anyone that wants to see the original?
Thanks & regards, David
William Dedear
Have started doing some research into my maternal grandfather William Dedear as my mother was never forthcoming on him and there are no pictures of him. It is fascinating to see him recorded here and add a little more to his life,
Thank you for posting.
