My father, Arthur Peill, was a Lay Missionary 1937-1941. He was sent by the CMS to be apprentice to Canon Wittenbach. After enlisting in the RAF in the last year of the war, he returned  to Hong Kong with my mother, Margaret, and I, first to the Civil Service, and then as the second to last Manager of the Dairy Farm at Pokfulam, where we spent some wonderful years together as a family.
