Hong Kong Police Orchestra/band Stanley Camp.

Submitted by Rob Woods on Fri, 2021-06-25 04:50

Hello, my grandfather was in the Hong Kong Police before being interned at Stanley Camp with my Grandmother, my Dad and his two brothers when the Japanese invaded Hong Kong.

His name is Harold Woods and I believe his nickname was "Timber" Woods. 

He played the clarinet and was in the Hong Kong Police Orchestra or Band and their performances were played on the radio i believe.

1938 Repulse Bay Hotel

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1938
Places shown in this photo: 
Eucliffe [1933-1988]
The Repulse Bay Hotel [1920-1982]

I was trying to find out the date when Eucliffe was built ... I have this photo of my father (George Pio-Ulski) and his orchestra standing outside in the gardens of the Repulse Bay Hotel and it looks like there is still scaffolding on Eucliffe.

My father came to HK from Shanghai in November 1937 so this photo must have been taken in 1938 but I don't have a date :(
