I tried to translate the following from Google:

ReginaldFollettCodringtonHedgeland was born in Exeter, Devon, on December 18, 1874. He was educated at St. Paul’s School in London and Pembroke College in Oxford. After graduation in 1897, he joined the Imperial Customs in May 1898 and was sent to Qiongzhou (Hainan). Then he continued to serve in Nanjing, Tianjin, Rapa (Macao), Kowloon, Shantou and Nanning. Later, he was responsible for management for six years. Hedgeland became Deputy Commissioner in 1917 and was appointed Commissioner in April 1921. After returning from vacation in 1923, Hedgeland was accused of being Aigun on the Amur River in Manchuria. He then took charge of Shantou and Guangzhou, and retired when he served in Hankou in April 1930. His papers and photos are stored in the archives and special collections of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. We are grateful to SOAS for allowing the album to be digitized and images to be provided here. 569 images from three albums (HPCrefs: He01, He02 and He03) and loose prints (HPCref: He-s). Please note that the revised SOAS archive directory reference number: HPCrefHe01 is the SOAS archive directory reference: PPMS82/2/1; HPC reference He02 is SOASPPMS82/2/3; HPC reference He03 is SOASPPMS82/2/2; HPC reference Hes refers to SOAS archive directory reference PPMS82/2/4 and PPMS82/2/5

He was subsequently in charge of Shantou and Canton, and retired in April 1930 while Commissioner at Hankou. His papers and photographs are deposited in Archives & Special Collections, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. We are grateful to SOAS for permission to digitise the photograph albums and make the images available here. 569 images in three albums (HPC refs: He01, He02, and He03) and loose prints (HPC ref: He-s).  Please note revised SOAS archive catalogue reference numbers: HPC ref He01 is SOAS archive catalogue reference: PP MS 82/2/1; HPC reference He02 is SOAS PP MS 82/2/3; HPC reference He03 is SOAS PP MS 82/2/2; HPC reference He-s relates to SOAS archive catalogue references PP MS 82/2/4 and PP MS 82/2/5.

我试着用谷歌翻译给翻译过来如下：

Reginald Follett Codrington Hedgeland于1874年12月18日出生于德文郡埃克塞特。他曾在伦敦圣保罗学校和牛津彭布罗克学院接受教育。 1897年毕业后，他于1898年5月加入帝国海关，并被派往琼州（海南）。然后他继续在南京，天津，拉帕（澳门），九龙，汕头和南宁服务，后来他负责管理六年。 Hedgeland于1917年成为副专员，并于1921年4月被任命为专员。 1923年从休假回来后，Hedgeland在满洲的阿穆尔河上被指控为Aigun。他随后负责汕头和广州，并于1930年4月在汉口任职时退休。他的论文和照片存放在伦敦大学东方和非洲研究学院档案与特藏中。我们非常感谢SOAS允许将相册数字化并在此处提供图像。三张专辑（HPC refs：He01，He02和He03）和松散版画（HPC ref：He-s）中的569张图像。请注意修订的SOAS存档目录参考号：HPC ref He01是SOAS存档目录参考：PP MS 82/2/1; HPC参考He02是SOAS PP MS 82/2/3; HPC参考He03是SOAS PP MS 82/2/2; HPC参考He-s涉及SOAS存档目录参考PP MS 82/2/4和PP MS 82/2/5

受困于小编拙劣的英文水平，就只用了谷歌的翻译，求大神人工翻译一把，同时请大神指出本组照片具体的拍摄年代。
