Class Graduation (C1936)

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.

A photograph taken in 1917 of the Army Ordnance Department stationed in Hong Kong.

The chap in shorts, front row centre is Lt. Col. T. A. Robertson.

Upon retiring from the army T.A.R. returned to Hong Kong in 1923 and served as secretary of the Hong Kong Club.

Maryknoll-C1937- Gathering of Primary School Classmates

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1937

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.

Maryknoll Sisters School, form 3A, 1963-64

Royal Artillery

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1940

It's taken in Hong Kong some time in between late September 1937 and the capture in December 1941.

It's the Royal Artillery and the one front & centre with his arms folded and looking smug is my grandad Joe Denton.

I would say that from the picture my grandad was on the victorious team of a tug o war contest.
