![]() ![]() ![]() Even if it is not published, I believe it is an important historical record of this aspect of British expatriate life between the two world wars. I would add that my mother has written a very interesting account of her childhood in Shanghai and has expressed an interest in finding a publisher. If you are interested in adding any of this material to your collection, please let me know. I also have a copy on CD of two further albums of photographs taken by my mother’s elder sister’s husband (who worked for BAT in Shanghai) which also contain scenes of the city during Japanese aggression. They include, amongst family photos, a good selection of scenes of Shanghai and Peitaiho, as well as pictures taken during Japanese air attacks, showing bomb damage and civilian casualties. My mother – who was born in Shanghai in 1925 and lived there until 1937 – has passed to me three photograph albums and a large number of loose photographs taken in China from about 1900 until the Japanese invasion of Shanghai. ![]()
