This photo taken in the garden of the China Maritime Customs officer's accommodation in Hai Nan Island, in the 1930's. My mother, Peggy and her sister, Patsy are playing with their 'pet' - a gibbon they used to dress up in their dolls' clothes! The little boy, I assume, was the son of one of their household staff? My grandfather was an officer for the CMCS and worked in many ports from Hai Nan Island to Shanghai.
