World War Two – 1945 BAAG report – Dairy supplies in occupied HK
Elizabeth Ride has sent another part of the 1945 BAAG report on a variety of subjects in Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in WW2.
This time the report covers Dairy Supplies and Facilities. Of particular interest are two companies which are still operating. Dairy Farm which began in 1886 and Kowloon Dairy, with rather unfortunate timing, in 1940.
