My grand father was in the Royal Rifles of Canada, A company. Died at Bowen Road Hospital on the 11 of august 1942 while he was a POW. i'm planning a trip to Hong-Kong to visit his grave...i will be the first one to visit his grave since he died alone and far from his wife and new borned daughter back in 1942.

Let's not forget these men...

Peace!

The Canadians and other soldiers of the Allies who died in the War were buried in the Military Cemetery in Tsai Wan in eastern part of Hong Kong. This cemetery is being taken care of since after the War. Memorial Service is held every year to honor those who died in the defence of Hong Kong, pre 1997 by British Army and post 1997 by PLA.

The Japs were very brutal to allied PoW's, any demented sole who believes otherwise is clearly one of them... a fascist.

The RAF, Royal Navy and British Army are still represented in Hong Kong by units of the Air Training Corps, Sea Cadet Corps and Army Cadet Force who are staffed by commissioned officers of the Territorial Army and Volunteer Reserve, they are still present at the memorial services every year and their numbers continue to increase.

@TheSalmonfan Did the Japanese get them to clean before streets before or after they massacred the local population?

@TheSalmonfan What side?

[TheSalmonfan]

@scapolaris90

I'm on the side that was doing the right thing.

@MikeLima777

The IJN stood for Imperial Japanese Navy. The Navy didn't take too many POWs or have much contacts with the civilians, thus your wild claim of *brutality* of the IJN makes no sense at all.

[scapolaris90]

@TheSalmonfan Who's side are you on?

[MikeLima777]

Does that justify the brutality of the IJN towards both Civilians and Prisoners of War?
