Family lore tells us that Edward and two younger brothers were put into Dr. Bernardo’s Home* in London after the death of his mother in 1918.

Family lore also tells us that Edward joined the Hong Kong Police Force.

Although passenger records are incomplete, evidence has been found that Edward sailed back from Hong Kong to London in 1938 aboard the RMS Corfu, and he was already on the police force, so apparently there had been earlier voyages.

Edward returned to Hong Kong prior to the war.
