Cheong Hing Store right hand in the back.

Just wondering what the man (a tourist with a camera?) is doing with the kids? Or vice versa. Begging for sweets?

From his uniform he is in the military, but the uniform does not look British.  Is it American? The moustache might preclude that. I'm afraid that the children were more likely to be begging for coins as in my experience sweets were usually less popular.
