11. and 12. Two World War Two shots of British soldiers although regiments and locations are not known.

13. and 14. Photocopies of the old British Central School at 136 Nathan Road, Kowloon, now the Antiquities and Monuments Office. This is where Douglas Franklin studied from 1936 to 1937. He then went to King George the Fifth School until he was evacuated to Australia in 1940.

15. A 1960s map of Victoria Peak District (photocopy).

16. Two newspaper cuttings dated 17 May 1955 giving accounts of the funeral and life of Mr Franklin senior.

17. A Hong Kong one-dollar bank note with the head of King George VI (1936-1952) on it.

Further information is written on the backs of photographs and snapshots.

All the above have been placed by HKBRAS, on Permanent Loan, with the Hong Kong Museum of History, where they are available for display and research purposes.

May I repeat that HKBRAS is extremely grateful to Douglas Franklin, a true Hong Konger having been born here, for his generous donation.
