Question for Henry Ching: In wartime diary entry for 1 Apr 1944 - "Choys say saw baby sliced".
Do you think the "Choys" were of the family who lived at No 2 Park Road?

Henry Ching writes:
I think not. More likely to have been a reference to neighbours who lived on the southern corner of Shan Kwong Road and King Kong Street in Happy Valley.

Thanks Henry,
Thanks Henry,
I remember a previous comment from you on another matter - saying you had attended childrens' parties at Park Road.
So I wondered if there was a connection.
By the way, I've not heard mention of canabalism in any stories told by members of "my" branch of the Choy clan.
