Hello Rainer,

I shall be in Shanghai mid-April, so let me know if there is anything I can do there. I would be interested to see your boxing team photo. I wonder whether I am in it. I certainly won medals for boxing when I got back to school in England but I don't remember boxing at the SBS. My e-mail is su4426@eclipse.co.uk


I see I signed myself by my nickname last time.

Best regards,

David

Hi Janet W! I am the niece of Mary Tria and she was also at the British International School at the time your were there... They had to leave Shanghai in 1949 also bec of the commusnism. We're from the Philippines and were trying to trace some roots there... Nice to see that she has batchmates who are also looking for the school. By the way she is japanese and spanish of filipino descent . .. hopefully i'll hear from you tnx!

I am replying to an old post by Lydia who inquired about SBS and Pamela Colingwood. after briefly attendingSBS in the 1950 's itclosed and many of us moved to MissCubbin's school, including Pamela. She was in my older sister 's class and i believe we have her photo. I live in the US. We were in China till 1957. Marina

I am replying to an old post by Iain of Canada. I too went to the SBS in 1948/9 and I too lived in Kinnear Road in one of Jardines houses. I am planning to visit Shanghai in Sep this year and hope to revisit these locations. Any help or advice will be appreciated.

Hello Michael,

I read with interest that you also were interned in Chapei. Did you know my father by any chance, also a boy at that time, Bob Ridley? His sister is Joan Ridley and their parents were Hilda and Jack.

I would be most interested to hear from you. My parents also made the trip back to Shanghai to see what remained of the camp and where they used to live.

Best,

Jane
