The above person is my grandpa. He was in Honkong during the WWII from 1934 - 1946. He lived through Japanese invasion and came back to India after 1946. He died in 1990 in India. I would like to know where he was stationed and where he lived. I am visiting Hong Kong, next month (October 2013)and would like to see those places.
