The gentleman in the centre of this photo is George Flynn, my Grandfather, who was a member of the China Maritime Customs. The notes on this photo state that it was taken in "Sum Chun" in 1932 - and that one of the other men was called Reggie Hill? My Grandfather was ex-royal Navy and ended up working for the CMCS in numerous ports from as far south as Hainan to Macau, Hong Kong and Shanghai in the north.

Date picture taken (may be approximate): 
Friday, January 1, 1932
Gallery:

was the name of the river separating Hong Kong from China, now known as Sham Chun; I assume the fence demarcates the border
