On board ship returning to Hong Kong some time after their marriage in Scotland in 1946, Robert & Donella Cunningham became friendly with a Mr & Mrs Priestley. The Priestleys were also returning to Hong Kong to make a fresh start after having lost everything there during the war years. Mr Priestley was the brother of the well known writer, J.B. Priestley.
