This shows my dad Bill Grierson From Cumnock, Ayrshire, Scotland) stationed here as a medical orderly about 1949-1953. He's the one sitting on a mates knee holding a bottle of beer! Sadly my Dad passed away in Oct 2009 but I remember him telling me amazing stories about Hong Kong. This is the only photo left of 3 albums that went up in flames in a house fire. I would be very interested in anyone who is in the photo or can shed some light on where it was taken. Please email me here bgrierson@mac.com<Read more ...>
