About this event
On October 27, 1941, a force of 1975 Canadian soldiers was sent to defend Hong Kong. The major units were from The Royal Rifles of Canada and the Winnipeg Grenadiers. They fought bravely alongside units of the British Garrison of Hong Kong, mainly from the 2/14 Punjab Regiment, 5/7 Rajput Regiment, 2nd Royal Scots Regiment, 1st Middlesex Regiment and Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps, later called the Royal Hong Kong Regiment (The Volunteers); 294 Canadian soldiers died during the Battle of Hong Kong and subsequently 264 more died in prison camp.
They gave their lives to make possible the freedom that we enjoy, the democracy by which we govern ourselves, and the justice under which we live. We are grateful to remember those who have sacrificed for Hong Kong.
With Remembrance Day in November and to raise public awareness of the Pacific War history in World War II, Vision Youth presents the Commemorative service on the Battle of Hong Kong.
