Dear Gwulo Friends

I am writing a biography of Sir Cecil Clementi （金文泰) to be published by Hong Kong University Press.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who cares to share information, documentation, photographs, comment or opinion on the subject of Sir Cecil, his life and times.

Please feel free to contact me on grahamdhutchings@gmail.com

With thanks and regards

Graham

Governor Cutting Cake at Ninth Exhibition

Submitted by brian edgar on Thu, 2011-07-28 16:22
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1952

I'm not sure of the exact year, but some of my father's photos are dated 1949, he left HK in early 1951, and this looks like Governor Grantham (judging from the Wikipedia image of him), who took office in 1947.

After the war, my father (Thomas Edgar) worked for the Cheung family's Garden Company, which, as his note on the back tells us, provided the tea for the ninth Exhibition. But does anyone know what this Exhibition was?
