Carl Crow gets a spot on the AmCham Shanghai wall….

Posted: January 15th, 2018 | 2 Comments »

How lovely to see that the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai has included Carl Crow in its timeline – apparently on the wall of their offices in Shanghai’s Portman Centre (not the city’s most wonderful piece of architecture, but never mind)…The mention notes Carl’s involvement in the negotiations in 1923 to secure the release of various foreign and Chinese hostages up in Shandong – a mission he undertook under the joint auspices of the AmCham and the Red Cross in Shanghai….of course if you want to know more my biography of Carl is still available (amazon.co.uk or amazon.com).
