Hello!
This is a photo in the Museum in Kowloon of The Prince of Wales accompanied by Governor R Scrubbs inspecting the Guard of Honour at Government House in April 1922.
My mother was born in Hong Kong in 1927 when my grandfather was on a Tour of Duty with the KOSBs. I wonder if the KOSBs were at Government House that day in 1922? It certainly seems to be a Scottish Regiment judging by the Glengarries the men are wearing.
Also, would anyone know where the families of that regiment would have lived? I seem to think my mother talked about The Peak/Kennedy Road.
Regards

The summer rains of June and July 1925 badly affected Happy Valley. See here for June. The Hong Kong Sanatorium (formerly the Happy Retreat) can be seen above the junction of Wong Nei Chong and Shan Kwong Roads.
