Would this be of children from a monastery school? - Girls as well as boys. Probably not Hong Kong.

From the Ward Room Mess album of the H.M.S. Titania

Officers of H.M.S. L3 submarine are visiting a rubber plantation in Malaya. This photo should be compared with moddsey's upload of the photo of the crew of L3 after winning the Submarine Cup, as it may also show Gordon Duff, Edwards, Lonsdale and Waterson.

In this photo the crew of the H.M.S. Titania stand behind the crocodile whose skin would provide the cover for their ward room mess photo album (see "Titania album" photo.) The note on the back reads "12 foot crocodile shot in Klang River." Perhaps some descendants of the crew members will be able to provide their names.

HK Shanghai Hotels Coolie Badge

Submitted by Roy Delbyck on Fri, 2019-06-28 12:48

I searched gwulo and nothing came up for “coolie badge.”  Does anyone know if this was this for a rickshaw driver or hotel employee and where (HK or Shanghai or Tientsin)?  It’s a pretty hefty thing, not a lightweight.
