Richard asks:

Can you remember anything about the Hong Kong naturalist Geoffrey Herklots at Stanley particularly anything he said about the wildlife of Hong Kong and the 1942 Camp tiger?

Barbara Anslow replies:

Although I knew Dr Herklots well, I'm afraid I can't remember much about his lectures, although they were always interesting and very popular.  My late sister Olive used to work for him in Food Control Dept. before the Japs attacked.  Olive under his influence became very health conscious and insisted that my Mum and family all take vitamin pills daily!
