This may be just another tourist picture but I wonder if it is the start of a building project somewhere in HK? Any ideas welcome. Found in the family archives again.

Thanks,

Came across this in family pictures. Just wonder if anybody can identify it or tell me if it has any significance other than being a tourist shot.

Thanks,

Unknown man

This is another picture from my family archive. The man might be my great grandfather but I am not sure. Does anybody think the picture is Hong Kong? If not it is definitely not him. No idea of date or anything like that. Assume early 1900s.

Thanks,

Sean

Possibly Canton or Macao connection

Submitted by anonymous-01 on Mon, 2010-05-24 17:58

These three pictures come from the same set of recently identified pictures of Canton and Macao. I wonder if there is anything to be said of them by way of identification. I can opload them individually is required.

Thanks,

More pictures from family archive. Are these of interest to HK military specialists or are they from elsewhere?

Seems most likely to me that they were taken in HK in First World War.

Thanks,

Soldiers

Submitted by anonymous-01 on Mon, 2010-05-24 17:30
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1910
Places shown in this photo: 
HSBC Headquarters Building (2nd generation) [1886-1933]

Came across the picture in family archive. Man second from left is identified as J. Olson who was my grandfather. Was this the local defence force as the picture was definitely taken before, during or just after the First World War?

I know that as my grandfather left HK in 1923.

Can anybody identify any of the others who might have living relatives who I might contact for further research? Also where was the picture taken?

Many thanks,

Sean
