Month: December 2008
SMI Again but Where, When and Who?
Now we are back in trouble with only the trees as background and no date, group title or names. I know someone out there can help. Please do.
SMI Form VB 1958
Again not too much of a test as all we need is the names!
SMI Form ID 1954
This is an easy one as we know where and when, but how about the names? Brothers, Masters or students would all be welcome.
Back to the River. Are they Scouts?
I think we are now quite clear that this is at Tanjung Rambutan, but when was it and who are they? Could they be Scouts from SMI? Please try and recognise someone. For the first time viewer there are more river and scouts pictures below. Just click on the tags to find them.
July 1963 Swimmers of SMI
I have just noticed that pencilled lightly on the back of this one is July 1963. Sitting to the left of the brother (as we look at it) with glasses is what I believe to be the same person as featured below under A Champion Swimmer and his Trophys and who we think may be Dr Lim.
Another SMI Primary Group
Again we would love to know when this photo was taken, the class or group and the names of the brother, the teachers and any of the students please.
Debating Society 1956
Written in pencil on the reverse is ‘Debating Society 1956’. Is this the Main Convent? Can any of the girls be recognised and named please?
Hari Raya Dinner 10th May 1958, MJC
Marked on the reverse of the photograph as in the title, this is a good start, but who are they and where? Does anyone recognise the initials MJC? Please help if you can.
Ipoh, Perak circa 1910
Does anyone recognise these buildings. We are sure they are Ipoh and very early. If you can help, please do by commenting below.
Inside an Ipoh Shop?
We have no information about this shop other than we are assured it was in Ipoh. If anyone can identify the type of business, the location or the people in the shop we shall be delighted to hear from them.
Girl Scouts or Girl Guides?
The girls are out for a walk but where, when and who? Please let us have any help you can. Thanks.
Form 2c, Poi Lam Middle and Primary School, 1962
At least we know which school and when, but can anyone identify the teacher or any of the students please?
Anglo-Chinese School (ACS), Ipoh
Does anyone know where and when this was taken and who is in the picture? Maybe the building behind or the shape of the school badge might help. Please leave a comment if you have any information at all about the photo.
Girls of the Ipoh Main Convent
Originally known as the Convent of the the Holy Infant Jesus, the school was founded by Mother St. Victoire, supported by Mother St. Anatoli, Assistant General to the Priests’ Assembly in Paris. It opened on 7th January 1907, at a small house in the compound of the St. Michael’s Church (Ipoh), with only eight students. Initially, […]
The Colonial Dispensary, Where and When?
Nothing is known about this picture of the Colonial Dispensary, although we are assured it is from Ipoh. There is the tail end of a car to the left of the picture with what looks like the Perak Registration A 707. The shopkeeper is holding a baby above the counter and there are half a […]

Another SMI Group, but when, what and who? Please help by letting us know about any details you may have about this picture.
An Outing to the River
Here we have girls and boys at the river, but which river, when was it and who are they? If you know anything about this picture please let us know.
Makan Time, but Where and When?
Gathered around the table they are, but who are they and when and where was the photo taken? It looks like a school canteen, but which school? Please let us know if you can shed any light on this picture.
A Lone Scout, but Who?
Probably from SMI, like the others below, this young man poses for his photograph. But who is he and when was the picture taken? If you know the answer, please let us know.
A Fellowship of Hats
This is an interesting line-up. Does anyone know who they are or the story of the hats please? Can anyone tell us the date the photo was taken?

Does anyone recognise this car or the young man in the photograph please. We really would like to know where and when the photo was taken and who he is.
Girls and Boys go for a Swim in the River
Again we have an unknown photograph, this time of a mixed group enjoying the cool of the river. Does anyone know who they are, which river are they in and what date was the picture taken please?
A Champion Swimmer and his Trophys?
If we guess correctly this is a student from SMI swimming team and a very successful one too! But who is he and when was this taken. Someone out there must know him and we would ask you to share his details with us please. There is now what appears to be a team or […]
