New version of The Hong Kong Legacy

Submitted by anonymous-01 on Wed, 2013-09-25 22:50

For anybody who may be interested there is a new version - more info and pictures - and hopefully better looking, of my website, The Hong Kong Legacy. It is the story of my family in 19th and early 20th Century Hong Kong.

It is at www.thehongkonglegacy.com

I hope anybody who  looks at it takes some enjoyment and even a little knowledge from it. Many of you have contributed in one way or another. Thanks to all and please remember that it has just gone up and will probably need to be adjusted from time to time.

NB Gwulo website moving to faster hosting

Submitted by Admin on Sun, 2013-09-22 22:14

Tomorrow (Monday, 23rd Sep) I'll move the website to a faster hosting service. I'm hoping it will make the site more responsive and so more pleasant to use, and cut down the errors and delays when posting new content.

Expect the site to be badly behaved tomorrow from time to time. I'll post an update when the move is complete, and ask for your help to let me know if I've broken anything.

Regards, David

Gary (Gareth) Golby

I am trying to find out information about my uncle, Gary (Gareth) Golby.

Gary, and his wife Mary, moved to Hong Kong in the early 1950's (1952 ?) where he took up a partnership with the law firm, Johnson Stokes & Masters.  They had a son, John, born in Hong Kong.

I believe that they lived in Kowloon.

They returned to England in the 1960's (1966 ?).

Sadly he passed away many years ago, before I could ask him about his years in Hong Kong.

Any information, and in particular photographs, would be appreciated.

Thank you

Looking for information on mysterious artist "Koo Bon"

Submitted by scwong on Mon, 2013-09-16 11:35

I am wondering if you might be familiar with an artist named “Koo Bon”. He was active in the mid-70s and the company I work for owns a number of paintings by him. We are looking for more information about this artist but keep coming to dead-ends.

Apparently he owned or exhibited in the Country Art Gallery at the mezzanine level of the Mandarin Oriental in the seventies (and maybe later too?), but we have no further record of him, the paintings or the shop.

Marksman Unit RHKP 1974 onwards.

Submitted by raycarpenter on Wed, 2013-09-04 05:50

One Sat morning early 1974 in the Officers Mess PTS Wong Chuk Hang I heard loud gun fire. Walking up to the firing range I saw a small unit of specialist shooters going thro their training. As it followed my specialst training in the UK firearms unit I was interested and opened my mouth about certain aspects of their training/shooting that I knew wouldn't work in the real world. Thats when I met Bill Duncanson and the other members of the RHKP Marksman Unit.
