Robert Cunningham with police dog Vicky

The subject of the photo is my father, in Police uniform, with Police dog, Vicky. I believe this photo was taken after the war, after his release from Stanley Camp where he was interned for 44 months until being liberated in 1945. When my dad retired and returned home to the UK, Vicky also retired from service and came home with him (after spending the required six months in quarantine).

House at 62 Barker Road on the Peak in Hong Kong, Gustave Volckaert, 1948

Submitted by Klaus on Thu, 2015-07-30 00:53
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1948
Places shown in this photo: 
Glenshiel - Epworth Lodge (1949) [????- ]

Found this plan here. Its from an architecture journal (ABE Journal 5/14) and titled: China Papers: The architecture archives of the building company Crédit Foncier d’Extrême-Orient (1907-59).

The plan is by the Belgian architect Gustave Volkaert. Although its for 62 Barker Road (an address I could not find) it could be Epworth Loadge (although this 51 Barker Road).
