Mel Jacoby on the HKFCC Mag Cover!

How great to see the latest issue of The Foreign Correspondents’ Club, Hong Kong magazine feature Mel Jacoby on the front (courtesy of Bill Lascher I assume) reflecting the origins of the FCC in wartime Chungking (Chongqing). The Press Hostel was an early precursor to the FCC (before it moved to Shanghai’s Broadway Mansions and then Hong Kong), was home to foreign correspondents covering WWII who later joined together to issue a memorandum that became the foundation upon which our Club was born.

Bill’s book of Mel’s 1930s and wartime photography in China and Asia – A Danger Shared (with an introduction by yours truly) – is available from Blacksmith Books Bookazine or online elsewhere of course.
