1st British Chinese Regiment (1898-1901)

Wonderful customs, cheng, although the words WEI HAI WEI do sound as if they might be a Tyneside based Chinese contingent!

It almost certainly is, cheng!     But the reference to Tyneside is about accent.  Assuming that WEI HAI WEI is pronounced WAY HAY WAY, then it sounds very much like the Tyneside accent in "Haway the lads!", a term of encouragement on the sports field.  (If it doesn't sound like that, then the joke falls flat!     )

Wonderful customs, well done.

So busy laughing at what Gordon said (I lived on Tyneside for 7 years so the words sounded very familiar  ) that I forgot to comment on your work Cheng
Apologies for that and well done for creating yet more great customs 
I do love those hats.
