something wrong in the movie...Gen. Lawson was shot dead in front of his West Command bunker on Wong Nei Chong Gap Road, not a building... WO2 Osborn scarified when holding a peak on a Mt. Butler, after re-take it.

For the history parts... Royal Rifle of Canada & Winnipeg Grenadiers were planned to Garrison in HK, they have plenty time to train & familiar w/ HK but the war start so soon....  Heavy equipment of were also shipped out to Hong Kong in another transport, but when the war started, they were still on their way and never made it to HK, but go to Manila and used by the US instead.

錯! 當年英國自顧不暇, 根本想放棄東亞除了印度.
但為了表明抗敵決心以定民情, 所以策略上地作出抵抗, 但無兵可派, 無物可用,
於是利用殖民地的資源, 調派加軍防守香港.
來港的加軍都被告知到港訓練,  ...

Mr. tango10

I think your info. is wrong,

First of all, UK never planned to give up SE Asia, their major strong hold in Asia was Singapore.. but they stupidly surrender to Japan w/o much major fight. And u are kinda right.. They disregard the importance of HK before the war started....

FYI.. Royal Scots, Middlesex Reg't did fight in the Battle for HK.. about the info about 來港的加軍都被告知到港訓練.. pls refer to my other reply!!!

我以前都相信你這面的資料, 但現在卻認為另一些更可信!
