Albert Jillott was my Grandfather. As far as I know he arrived in Hong Kong after the 1st world war on a ship from Archangel in Russia. He had been posted there with the Royal Marines. The story goes that at the end of the war he slipped the billeting officer a few quid and asked to be put on the next ship out of there. That went to Hong Kong, so that’s where he stayed.
