[3 Oct 2016 Update: I previously wrote that C M Faure was the editor of 'The Hong Kong News' but in the comments below Henry Ching says that isn't the case.]

C M Faure worked for the English-language newspaper 'The Hong Kong News' that was published during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong.

There are several comments about him at this time in the Stanley Camp Discussion Group.
