S. H. Dodwell

Stanley Hudson Dodwell (1878–1960), CBE was a British businessperson and politician who was active in Hong Kong.

In June 1917 he was appointed an unofficial member on the Legislative Council during Henry Pollock's leave,[8] again in October 1918 for Edward Shellim,[9] and as a substitute for Robert Gordon Shewan in March 1919 and January 1920.

[21] Dodwell, however, strongly opposed the new Income Tax Bill presented by the Hong Kong Government.

He feared the new taxation would drive out industrial enterprises and capital and prevent new ones from coming in, and the tax collecting would be too costly.

[22] He demanded some amendments of the bill and asked for an enquiry into the wartime departments to be set up for providing jobs for senior and former government officials.

Their son Michael Carr Dodwell, who was part of the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps, died on 15 May 1944 at the age of 21 and was buried at the Stanley Military Cemetery.
