Walter Schofield Field Trip Photos

Mr. Walter Schofield (1888-1968) was a cadet officer in the Hong Kong Civil Service from 1911 to 1938, during which he held important posts in the administration and judiciary. Throughout his career in Hong Kong, he pursued (with official support) what was no doubt his first love, the geology and archaeology of Hong Kong, of which he was a pioneer. This collection contains photos taken by Mr. Schofield during his various field trips to New Territories, Hong Kong Island and Kowloon between the 1910s and the 1930s.
