I just found this South China Morning Post pic. It shows me in front holding Isa’s oldest’s, Caroline (C.J) hand, she is holding Isa’s hand & my mum, Margaret Peill, is behind her right shoulder. I believe it was taken in 1949.
 

Review of the book ‘King Hui’ – published 2007

Submitted by jjohnantonsmith on Sun, 2021-08-01 01:15

This review does not need the catch-all subtitle, “The man who owned all the opium in Hong Kong” as the book is full to the brim with 350 pages of dense and fascinating information of a life that stretches from 1914 till 1993,as told to Jonathan Chamberlain, of which pages 126 to 196, record all his adventures under the Japanese occupation.
