The death is announced, with regret, of Lady (Clara) Ho Tung, W09 passed away at her Peak residence In Hongkong on Jan, 6 after a brief illness which was largely. aggravated by her energetic work in connection with the relief of war sufferers and refugees.
'On New Year's Eve, following a visit to wounded Chinese' soldiers at the Tung Wah Hospital, she developed bronchitis, but in spite of that she went about her work of charity and love during the next two days until she was exhausted and had to be confined to bed.

As a result, Jconstant "attendance and devoted efforts on the part of Professor W. Gerrard, Dr, H. Balean, Dr. S.'C; Ho and Dr. Eva Ho Tung were of no avail, and the-end, from heart failure, came peacefully with almost every member of the family at her bedside, including Sir Robert and, Lady (Margaret) Ho Tung.
