Comments
Looking at Tramways employees
Looking at Tramways employees in the 1941 Jurors List, the first two are Herbert William Hammond and Vernon Walker, and the third is William Frederick Simmons. (There is also a John Henry Simmons on the 1941 list, but Nona has identified the man in this photo as W F Simmons.)
All three are also shown on the list of Civilian Internees, so they were all interned at Stanley Camp.
Herbert William Hammond 1888 -
Could the photo be marking his retirement? He left Hong Kong shortly after the photo was taken and was "retired". (see https://gwulo.com/comment/49480#comment-49480)
Vernon Walker photo 1946
Some time ago I posted a 1946 photo of Vernon Walker with his daughter Veronica at https://gwulo.com/atom/18028 taken in Australia.
