In 1899 Walter J. Southam was assigned to Hong Kong by the
International Committee of the USA and Canada. By 1903, Chinese- and
English-speaking branches each operated separate premises but were governed by
a single board of directors. In 1908 they became two completely independent
associations. The work in Hong Kong was closely associated with the work in
China up to 1949. In 1961 the Council of YMCAs of Hong Kong, which joined both
the Chinese and European YMCAs in Hong Kong, was officially inaugurated.

in Hong Kong, along with their dates of service, if known:
