Gander T-Shirts

 Gander T shirt Click for larger image
Click for larger image 		After accidentally scratching a child’s face, Gander’s original owner gave him to the Royal Rifles of Canada, a regiment of the Canadian Army stationed at Gander Airport, Newfoundland. The soldiers there “promoted” him to Sergeant and took him along with their unit to Hong Kong in the fall of 1941. In Hong Kong Gander helped fight the Japanese invaders on three occasions. The last time, Gander picked up a Japanese hand grenade and while rushing it back to the Japanese he sadly died in the ensuing explosion, but saved the lives of several wounded Canadian Soldiers.

These T-shirts, created by HKVCA member JP Bear, are a tribute to his memory that you can wear proudly.
