Views of Hong Kong 1960 Peak Tram HK

I (Klaus) found this one particularly interesting because of the reclaimed land behind the bank buildings.

An earlier image than most. The many spectators are wearing their hair tied in the 'queue' style. Sailors or soldiers appear to be trying to board the tram.

 

Photos of Edith Jacks

Hi Everyone 

I have written the biography of Hong Kong Land Officer Philip Jacks (1877-1941). My book is to be published in late February by Australian Scholarly Publishing. I have two photos of Philip Jacks but would very much appreciate a picture of his wife Edith (nee Edith Elliot Kirkpatrick Picard) or any of the Jacks children--Harold, Mary or Audrey. 

If you know of any photos please get in contact with me: rohan.price@utas.edu.au
