I was at the British Library in London in late May `15 looking through their collection of the Hong Kong Police Magazine from the early 1950s to 1970. It provided a fascinating and often humourous glimpse into colonial  policing during that era. It was also bi-lingual but I cannot read Chinese. I was actually looking for unusual fauna-related stories and I wasn`t disappointed, I found an account of a Chinese Giant Salamander which I vaguely have a memory of seeing before but it was good to see again. There were stories of old Hong Kong, a letters page,odd crimes,reports from various district police departments. I wonder if its online?

You might also want to check out Brian Coak's rather good website on this subject.
