Many years ago I escorted Bill Bethell and his wife, visiting Hong Kong from their home in the U.K., around sites which were known to Bill as a young lad growing up in pre-War Hong Kong.

We were also able to visit Stanley where Bill and his family were interned during the Japanese Occupation. I have written in greater detail of Bill's visit to Hong Kong elsewhere on this site.
