Notes

University of Bristol - Historical Photographs of China reference number: Bi-s001. Gordon Campbell is ‘myself’/’my’, sitting in the centre of this photograph. Campbell was the Butterfield & Swire Shipping Agent in charge at Nanjing at the time this photograph was taken. He was known as ‘Chota’ Campbell, as he was not tall like so many B&S company men (and had served in the Indian Army). For a summary of his career and personal recollections, see his WikiSwire entry.
