He's another man I'm looking for photos of as part of the CPS project. He was appointed head of the Police Force from 1934 - 1941. Initially his title was "Inspector-General", but it was changed to "Commissioner of Police" in 1938.

The Police museum has a couple of group photos where he is shown, but if you know of any individual photos / portraits, please let me know.

I didn't find any results in the HKPRO photographs collection, and I haven't found any family tree records.

The Crisswell/Watson police book has a portrait photo of him on p.114 and on p.165 there's one of him receiving the King's Police Medal.

Adam
