Does anyone know  what the "(N D)" means?

Central Police Station [????- ]

Photo received from Gordon Randall via Henry Ching:

Gordon's father, a member of the HK Eurasian community, was Benjamin Cutler Randall. 

Unfortunately, he can give us no information on the photo, other than it is a postcard he found in his father’s papers. His father was in the Police Reserve in 1941, and so he assumes that the photo is of the Police Reserve although his father does not appear to be in it.

St. Stephen's Hall, 1945

Places shown in this photo: 
St Stephen's College, Stanley [1930- ]

(It looks as though it was taken shortly after liberation, showing ex-internees of Stanley Camp.)

Barbara writes:

Both those photos of the inside of St Stephens came from my collection, I sent them to the stanley group ages ago.

I can't remember where I got them from; one shows the gallery at the back, where the wood from the graded steps had been removed for firewood, it was jolly hard sitting on the concrete remains!
