On behalf of my Dad, Maj. Maurice A. Parker, CO "D" Coy, Royal Rifles of Canada, thank you for your kind message. My Dad's Company were the last of the defenders to lay down their arms at the end of the Battle. Best regards, Ron Parker --Previous Message-- : On this anniversary of the Battle of Hong : Kong(one day belated it may be), I wanted to : give a word of thanks to all those who : served and defended Hong Kong in 1941. I : was born in Hong Kong but sadly did not : fully appreciated until recently, the impact : and sacrifice by all those who were there : then, especially the many Canadians, who : through their courage and determination, : truly showed who the winners were in the : Battle of Hong Kong. I am only saddened : that not more people, both connected and : unconnected to Hong Kong, recognise the : tremendous sacrifices that were made by : those men and women and their families. : : God bless :
