Thanks to Henry Ching for the attached photo. He writes:

I notice that in your Person posts there are some employees of the South China Morning Post Ltd who were interned in Stanley. I thought you might be interested in the attached photo, taken in February, 1941 of the editorial staff of the Morning Post and the HK Telegraph. A few are in the photo. I name below those who were interned or POWs (or away from HK).

Where: Cheung Chau Island.

When: No date is given, but it should be 1940 or 1941.

Who: This photo is courtesy of Laura Darnell (née Ziegler), who writes:

My sister Eunice is on the left, Laurence Z. on top and Everett Z. second from the right.

I'll call them the luckiest children on Cheung Chau, if not the whole of Hong Kong, because of what they're leaning on...

Laura asks if anyone recognises where this is. The children are her brothers and sisters.

My guess is that it is the rock visible in the distance beyond house #29 on the left edge of this photo:
