Lyall GLENDINNING [1913-c.1948]
Primary tabs
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.

Glendinning -Talanglemos Ltd.
I have been tracing my father's cousin Lyall James Scott Glendinning, born in HK 4 Nov.1913, listed in the Jurors Lists 1935-1940 as an Assistant at Mackintosh & Co.Ltd. Wondering who/what Mackintosh & Co.Ltd. did and found this advt. (Advert. for Topees elsewhere on this site) This would tie in with the fact that after WWII Lyall applied to live in Australia, giving his proposed occupation as Outfitting and Tailoring. Thank you! Amazing What You Find on this Site!
Still looking for a referencence to Talanglemos Ltd. Was it a trading company, shipping co. or??
Glendinning -Talanglemos Ltd.
I have asked this question before, but now have an extra clue. In the Carl Smith card index there is an entry for Glendinning, L 1947, Mar. 28 - Mr. L. Glendinning resident of Peninsula Hotel, not seen for a week - aged about 35, staying at hotel for some months with wife and young daughter. connected with Talanglemos Ltd. Shell House. Is there anyway of finding out what Talanglemos Ltd. was? The new clue being Shell House. I was delighted to find that Lyall appears in a photo of HKVDC signals corps posted recently on your site.
Thanks Sandra

Hi Sandra, a search in ICRIS, https://www.icris.cr.gov.hk, finds:
Name History
So a slightly different spelling - please let us know if it turns up any more information.
Also, does the Carl Smith card give a source for the 1947, Mar. 28 information? I had a skim through the newspapers available online for Mar 28-30 but didn't see anything relevant. Maybe it was reported in the South China Morning Post, which isn't online.
