Yu To Sang, who died in December 1944, had been a Director of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, a Director of the Po Leung Kuk, and a committee member of the Brewin Trust Fund. His family had provided half of the capital cost to build this school, and create 1,000 new school places. Does anyone remember the family, or the school? Do you know if the statue still exists, or recognise anyone in the photo? (third from left is Douglas Crozier, extreme right Ann Crozier). Copyright Crozier family.

I think the school building
I think the school building still exists, but with a new name: https://gwulo.com/node/41173
Not sure about the statue though.
First headmaster of Yu To Sang Memorial School
First from left in the photo is my father, Ming Szeto, the first headmaster of the school. He remembers the ceremony shown in the picture, with Douglas Crozier (then Director of Education), his wife, Ann Crozier, and members of the Yu To Sang family.
