Peter Grant was my father.   He was for a time Chief Inspector of Police in Hong Kong (unsure of district) and was awarded a Kings Police Medal in 1933.    He returned to UK in 1937 married to Laura Joyce Dobbin some many years younger than himself.   My sister was taken with him into a second marriage, and I was adopted at birth a year later in 1940.    She and I only got to know about each other in 2011 and are not linked and in contact.
