Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1949

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

Bowen Road British Military Hospital [1907- ]

Submitted by tngan on Wed, 2008-11-12 01:38
Date Place completed: 
1907-01-01

There is an entry in Wiki describing this building, which gives these dates: It was built between 1903 and 1906, and officially opened on July 1, 1907.

Donald C Bowie's 'Captive Surgeon' gives a detailed account of his time at the hospital between 1942 and 1945. During that time he was the Senior Medical Officer, and the hospital cared for Allied POWs.
