An informative group of images showing Trench taking the salute, march-pasts by dog and riot units, female officers on parade, and a ride-past by a motorcycle division. Other photographs capture Trench pinning decorations on individual officers, the arrival of senior personnel, and music and marching. Completing the collection is a photograph of Peter Dixon Lennett (1938-1997), a member of the force from 1964 to 1991, receiving the baton of honour from Lieutenant-General Sir Denis O'Connor, Commander of British Forces in Hong Kong, during his passing out ceremony. Lennett graduated as Best Inspector of the Intake and was commended on multiple occasions during his distinguished career. His accompanying business card identifies him as a force training officer at the training school in Wong Chuk Hang, Aberdeen. Together, 35 gelatin silver professional photographs (125 x 170 mm) and larger gelatin silver photograph (210 x 160 mm), latter with South China Morning Post wet-stamp and near-contemporary ink manuscript caption on verso. Photographs bowed but mostly bright and unfaded, a little silver mirroring: a very good collection.…
