Thanks for the extra information. I've updated the details above.

Are the people leading the horse Herbert and Gloria?

Henry Ching adds:

Gloria Yee was arrested by the kempetai in November, 1943 as recorded in my father’s diary. (See "What links here" above). She was apparently accused of spying.

Her mother was, I believe, a sister of May, wife of the well-known Dr Arthur WOO Wai-tak. Gloria’s husband, O.Kees, was in the HKVDC and was a POW in Sham Shui Po.

Regards, David

Gloria Kees is my Aunt. My Aunt and Uncle (Herbert Kees) were leading the horse. When I have a chance, I’ll add some more info on her. May be you could allow me to edit her info?
