Wilfred Reed is the father of angie-r, on whose behalf I am posting some details of his life. Information about his brothers' role in the Battle for Hong Kong and his own role in safeguarding the female members of his family is given in the post on Robert Cyril Reed. Margaret Annie Bond, also mentioned on this site was great-aunt to the Reed brothers and Lucretia Murray, wife of Patrick, was their aunt. Amaro and Maria Reed were their parents. Willie Reed was an outstanding sportsman and played hockey for Middlesex.

Shirley Anne
Birth
Date: 
c.1931-01-01 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)

The Hewitt family lived at 18 Broadwood Road, next door to my uncle, Leslie Warren and his family at 19 Broadwood Road. I posted a photo of Shirley Anne Hewitt at https://gwulo.com/atom/18036 taken in 1939 and labelled "Before Evacuation". I've also posted two photos of her father, whom we only know as Mr Hewitt at the Lido in Repulse Bay. Tony Banham tells me he may be Edmund Francis Hewitt, an accountant with BAT, who was in Stanley. He wasn't the police sergeant, Bill Hewitt who was in Stanley.

Veronica Walker's birthday party

Submitted by jill on Mon, 2014-06-30 23:23
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1937
Places shown in this photo: 
4, Broadwood Road [????-????]

This photo of Veronica Walker's birthday party was preserved by my cousin, Diana Warren, who is the taller of the two girls in the back row and who lived at 19 Broadwood Road. Veronica, known as Ronnie by my cousin, is in the centre. My cousin has written that she lived at 2 Broadwood Road, but it must be 4 Broadwood Road according to Siobhan Bland Daiko's post of that title. I would guess the date to be 1937.
