Every day each amah did a pile of washing for between 16 and 20 of us. It was amazing that they managedf to get it all dry In humid or wet weather. <Read more ...>

Ah Fong was another of the amahs who loyally moved with the Unit from Camp Collinson to Lyemun and finally to Little Sai Wan. It must have been strange for them to have a constantly changing group of airmen to look after, and I have often wondered what sort of employment they found when the 367 Signals Unit closed down in 1962. Hopefully they managed to find work with the civilians who took over the operation. <Read more ...>

Ah Hoi was also an amah at Camp Collinson and she with the other amahs almost certainly moved on to Little Sai Wan when the unit moved there in 1953. The amahs were all very loyal and hard-working. The background is not very sharp but there are several buildings in the background, which I cannot identify so this photograph might have been taken at one of the other accommodation blocks used by the R.A.F.
