Thanks to Wally Murison for the following information about his grandfather. Wally writes:

My grandfather Chief Detective Inspector William Murison KPM served in the Hong Kong Police between 1895 and 1923. I served in Hong Kong between 1977 and 2008 (officially retiring in 2009).

Please find attached some information that I have gathered for my younger relatives. You may find it of some interest. The two photographs of the Kings Police Medal presentation are copied from photos in my possession.
