1952-1960 British cemeteries and army garrisons

Submitted by Derekjthorpe@ho... on Mon, 2017-12-04 13:11

My wife Mrs Mary Thorpe , born Sutherland, was brought to H Kong by her parents, Lawrence and Philomena in 1952-3 until 1955-6. Lawrence Sutherland was in the Royal Engineers. There were Patrick and 2 others that died at birth or in infancy here in Hong Kong. We are currently in Kowloon until early 6th December. We are also interested in finding the area that was the former barracks where a Warrant Officer (Staff Sergeant) would have lived with his family. Many thanks Derek

This image (tag 48-06-03 - see other two images uploaded) of work being done to what looks like an army truck is another frame in the 8mm film sequence taken by Roland presumably as he drove around the ring-road Tai Po/Castle Peak in February 1948.

This image (tag 48-45-10) of a gentleman who looks like an official at this border crossing? or army barrack? (see the other 4 photos uploaded - does anyone recognize him?). This is another frame in the 8mm film sequence taken by Roland presumably as he drove around the ring-road Tai Po/CatlePeak in February 1948.

This image (tag 49-10-23 - see other two images uploaded) of a pump being activated in a channel crossed by a footbridge - in the distance you can see a stone arched building over the channel and buildings going up a hill. This is another frame in the 8mm film sequence taken by Roland presumably as he drove around the ring-road Tai Po/Castle Peak in February 1948.

This image (tag 49-20-19 -(see another 4-5 images uploaded) is a continuation of the scene of a pagoda in the NT. This frame is taken further to the right of the pagoda (out of sight in this image) and shows on the left part of a 2-storey building then far right what appears to be (part of) an arched gateway with tiled roofing - see tag 49-19-06 for clearer shot of the arched gateway..
