The above person is my grandpa. He was in Honkong during the WWII from 1934 - 1946. He lived through Japanese invasion and came back to India after 1946. He died in 1990 in India. I would like to know where he was stationed and where he lived. I am visiting Hong Kong, next month (October 2013)and would like to see those places.

Hi, if you can remember any stories he told of his time in Hong Kong, I'd be very interested to hear them. Similarly if you have any photos of his time in Hong Kong, please let us see and we'll try to identify where they were taken.

I see he's mentioned on a Carl Smith card. Here's the link to the card, and some background information about the cards.

Regards, David
