My mother Peggy Bailey, (nee Flynn) is third from the left at the front. What I would like to know Modsey, is where was this taken.

I reckon this was taken in c.1948-9? I think some of the players are from Club Recrio and I know they had links with Macau as well as Hong Kong? Of course Club de Recrio is near Kings Park in Kowloon.
