The Vision of Hong Kong Veteran Phil Doddridge
With the Battle of Hong Kong holding such a unique part of history, the HKVCA created this stunning grave marker to be placed on the gravestones of those who fought in the battle of Hong Kong. They were created to identify, recognize, and honour all those who fought. The markers themselves are brass plated discs that have been custom forged and painted with industrial paint. Diameter is 7.5 cm or 3 inches
Each HK gravestone marker is currently $75.00. Mailing included. Please contact the cemetery for permission to have it installed. We will contact you to arrange the delivery. Installation instructions are included.
