Notes

University of Bristol - Historical Photographs of China reference number: JM04-169. Photograph numbered 169, published in The Sino-Japanese Hostilities 1937 / Shanghai. Caption in the Index: 'American Defense Force increase.' This caption is not for this photograph. It is for the photograph numbered 170. The caption in the Index for this photograph should be: 'On the occasion of the Durhan Light Infantry joining Shanghai Defense Forces.' Durhan is a typographical error for Durham. The lapel pin worn by the officer on the left indicates Royal Welch Fusiliers. In the background is part of the Park Hotel (Guoji Fandian) and the Foreign YMCA. See Ro-s073 (a photograph of an officer from same regiment, perhaps the same person).
