Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos):
1936
This is the second of two photos I recently received from a family friend. I interpret the title at the top as photo taken in 1936, the school's name - likely located in Kowloon. It mentions " 中學" but considering the age of the students, it appears they just started an early level/grade at this high school. I have no knowledge how the schools' structure worked in those days. <Read more ...>

A family friend recently gave me this photo which shows her mother, and informed me that my mother was also in it (back row, first left). The occasion was a get together of primary school classmates and at this time, several girls including both our mothers have started, or about to start, schooling at Maryknoll. Note the two different uniforms. I estimated it was taken in 1937. <Read more ...>

Here is picture of my uncle Emile Landau in c. 1937 in Singapore with my cousin Harry. Emile had, with Aaron Landau' the Parisian Grill in HK..and the PG farm where the Yacht club? in Aberdeen is now.
Emile certainly gave a politically incorrect picture ... smoking with a baby and a urangatang as a pet!
Houses at Barker Road and Plantation Road are visible. I'm quite sure to see Richmond House and 455 The Peak, R.B.L. 150. Behind Richmond House is Altadena, but hardly visible. Downhill from Richmond house is Martinhoe, uphill could be Hazeley (nearby is today's Severn Villa).
