Asst Commissioner Ken Bidmead RHKP 1955 and Eileen Lambert

My mother was Ken's secretary 1955 - 1957. Does anyone have news of him or archive material / photos of that time?

Thanks in anticipation.

Whether Ho Kom Tong is son of Chinese man Kwok Hing-yin?

According following website say Ho Kom Tong is son of Chinese man name  Kwok Hing-yin. But I find this claim contradict with mainstream media common understanding.

 

According mainstream  media Ho kom Tong is full blood Chinese his father is Chinese who surname is Ho as well. Certainly not Kwok Hing-yin

Help! What is this monument?

This is an image of my Grandfather from approx. 1945/1946

My Father and I have been trying to figure out what the monument in the background on the mountain top is. All we know about this photo is that is was probably taken while the battleship was anchored in Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong. Any assistance anyone could provide would be much appreciated!

Which hospital?

During 1960, I suffered a fractured skull whilst staying with my parents at the Four Seas hotel in Kowloon.

Fire Control sites

Here is the second batch of Places from Rob Weir's research. The first [1] showed the artillery batteries around Hong Kong. This batch records Fire Control sites and buildings. These housed the people and equipment responsible for identifying targets, then telling the gunners where to aim their gun so they'd hit the target.

Here they are on a map (subscribers, please click here to view it on the website):
