1 week ago'HMS Belfast visit led to my long-lost grandfather'
When Lawrence Fong visited museum ship HMS Belfast with his wife and children in 2024, he had no idea that he was about to make an extraordinary discovery. In the ship's East Asia Mess Decks he noticed a photo, and on reading the caption recognised the name of the person photographed - Lau So. That was the name of his maternal grandfather, but he knew little about him. He did know that his grandfather was a sailor during the Korean War and had died when Lawrence's mother was very young.
