This photo is from the Bagam family archive I am currently reviewing. Taken in Hong Kong by Kings Studio. Is that "1947" on the board behind? Theo Bagram died 24 April 1947, I wonder if this might be a New Year party for that year. All people unknown, if anyone recognises a face please let me know. <Read more ...>
Photo received from Gordon Randall via Henry Ching:
Gordon's father, a member of the HK Eurasian community, was Benjamin Cutler Randall.
Unfortunately, he can give us no information on the photo, other than it is a postcard he found in his father’s papers. His father was in the Police Reserve in 1941, and so he assumes that the photo is of the Police Reserve although his father does not appear to be in it. <Read more ...>
Hello Gerald Chui - what a surprise to read your post about me in Gwulo. I left Hong Kong for England in 1962 and I have settled here ever since! Would you be Chui Huk Fai? I remember I could see your house in Cain Road from my balcony. It's great to reconnect again. My email is bosskwok@hotmail.com. Hope to hear from you guys soon. Robert <Read more ...>

Members of the Hong Kong Riding (Jockey?) Club sometime before the war - perhaps about 1935-1939?
In the 2nd row down, 5th and 6th from right, are Ron Brooks and Helene Caudron (before their marriage in 1939). They met at the Club when - according to the story - Ron gave Helene a hand to mount her horse! <Read more ...>

Rev Frank Short is mentioned in the post about Helen Walker Wylie's wedding in 1936 - and here he is in 1931 (standing in the back row) with the Committee of Kowloon Union Church. I do have names for most of those pictured, and if anyone is curious, will happily post them. <Read more ...>
This photo is taken from the 1939 Christmas card sent by my uncle Leslie Warren to his family in England. He has drawn a cross over his head. I don't know where the photo was taken but there seems to be a church behind. I also don't know if this photo is already on line, but thought it important to post it in case it contains family members of people who consult the Gwulo site and who may not have survived the war. <Read more ...>
