Henry Ernest WODEHOUSE [1845-1929]
Primary tabs
Most mentions of H. E. Wodehouse are in connection with his son, the author P G Wodehouse. But I'm interested in H. E. because of his work as a magistrate in Hong Kong. I'm looking for photos / sketches / portraits of him for the CPS project's history book.
I've got one possible source, but if you know of any other photos, please let me know.
