Welcome

Our Goal

Share information, lessons, and other resources to educators, students, and the Canadian public about the role our Canadian soldiers played in the Battle of Hong Kong in World War II, and their subsequent experiences as Prisoners of War.

Commitment to Remember

They were young, as we are young,
They served, giving freely of themselves.
To them, we pledge, amid the winds of time,
To carry their torch and never forget.
We will remember them.

Response: We will remember them
