WILLIAM GEORGE COBURN
Can anyone help me with the following: William George Coburn - I have been told that he was in Hong Kong possibly in the police force before the second world war. Perhaps he was got out before the invasion.
It is a very long shot I know to ask this but are there any records of men who were evacuated from Hong Kong before to the invasion.
I live in hope?

WILLIAM GEORGE BURN or COBURN BORN 1909 IN UK
Can anyone help me please with a man who was supposed to be in the Hongkong police.
My previous post in 2013 showed that William was not in the records as "Coburn". But was before knew he was actually born "Burn"..
I had been told that he was in Hong Kong possibly in the police force or even with the Punjab police in Hongkong.
He may have returned to UK in 1937.using his birth surname of "Burn" arriving. 22 Jan 1937 in London
I hope to find out a little more information to prove that this record was for him.
Ship Name
Strathaird
Shipping Line
P & O S N Company
His occupation is given as "Punjab Police"
Are are there any records available of men who were in the police force between 1909 and 1937?
