History
During the Second World War, when Macau was under Portuguese rule, there was a British Consul, John Pownall Reeves, who served between June 1941 and August 1946.[2] He remained there following the fall of British-ruled Hong Kong to the Japanese, as Portugal was neutral, helping 9000 British subjects who had become refugees from Japanese-occupied colony.[3]
