The first mention I see for him is in the 1933 Jurors List, where he is working as a Steward at the H.K. & Shanghai Hotels, Ld. By the 1941 List, he's still with the same company but promoted to Maitre d'Hotel.

John Black's copy of the CWGC list of internees at Stanley has a typo in the surname: "V I Olafinsky". It gives his occupation in 1941 as "Ast Hotel Manager", and DoB as 1905.
