A two-minute silence was held at 11am to remember the people who had died in wars. Remembrance Sunday is also marked each year, this will falls on the second Sunday in November. Many people chose to wear a poppy in November for Remembrance Day to show their respects to the people who devoted their lives in the First World War and the conflicts that followed. What does the red poppy mean? The red poppy is the most famous symbol used to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives in World War One and conflicts that followed. The Canadian Commemorative Ceremony held on 6th December 2020 Hong Kong was the first place Canadians fought a land battle in the Second World War. From 8 to 25 December 1941, almost 2,000 troop from Winnipeg and Quebec City — sent to Hong Kong expecting little more than guard duty — they fought bravely against the overwhelming power of an invading Japanese force. When the British colony surren- dered on Christmas Day, 290 Cana- dians here killed in the fighting. An- other 264 died over the next four years, amid the inhumane conditions of Japanese prisoner-of-war camps.

This year the Hong Kong Jockey Club cancel the race due to the COVID-19 epidemic. VOLUME 1, ISSUE 3 Books: The Arthur May Story Page 5 Arthur May is best remembered for his daring feat of hoisting the Union Jack on Hong Kong's Peak on 18th Au- gust 1945, three days after the Japanese surrender. A few days later he sailed to Macao in a sampan to seek approval from the British Government for Franklin Gimson, the sen- ior British subject then in Hong Kong, to take over the ad- ministration of Hong Kong from the occupying Japanese forces. How had Arthur remained out of internment for the majority of the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong and what did he do during this time? Was the hoisting of the flag instrumental in reclaiming Hong Kong for the British? Was his trip to Macao necessary? While out of internment Arthur befriended some of the Indian soldiers, who had been coerced to become guards for the occupying Japanese forces in return for better conditions for themselves. This liaison continued and expanded into a spy network after Arthur’s internment. It later as- sisted in preventing looting and disorder as British authority was re-established following the Japa- nese surrender. Arthur died in early 2000 at the age of 92. Dur- ing his latter years he talked and made notes on what he had done during the Japanese occupation. This is Arthur’s story based on contemporary records, his memory and his notes. Hong Kong Adventure Corps Since the situation of COVID-19 is still severe, the High Island Training Camp and the Hong Kong Jockey Club High Island Training Camp were also closed to the pub- lic in accordance with the requirements of the Home Af- fairs Bureau until further notice.

At the early stage of the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence, They learned that The Royal Hong Kong Reg- iment (The Volunteers) was about to disband. So they negotiated with the Regiment to borrow the above items, together with other military items of memorial value for exhibition. During Typhoon Manghkut that Museum was badly dam- aged. To facilitate its refurbishment, these items were transferred to the Hong Kong Museum of History for temporary storage. Finally, the captioned three items were returned to our Association for safe keeping.. Descriptions of the captioned items are as follows- A) Identity Tag of a British Soldier during Japanese Occupation.. These tags belonged to Hon. Colonel, Dr. Solomon Matthew Bard.. Rank : His rank during war time was Lieutenant. Religion : Jewish B) Map showing the defensive positions of British Forces in Stanley during the Battle of Hong Kong.. Sketched based on memory by a member of the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps who defended Stanley and be came a prisoner of war... C) Japanese Personal Patriotic Flag with Inscription. During the invasion by the Japanese Forces, its military personnel would carry a Japanese flag with him into the battlefield. If he survived the battle, he would inscribe his name and some blessing on the flag.. The Association appreciates Mr. Wong Yuk Sang, (a serving Committee member, an instructor of The Hong Kong Ad- venture Corps & ex member of the Royal Hong Kong Regiment (The Volunteers) Junior Leaders Corps), in generously sponsoring of the framing of British military ID tag and the Japanese Flag, enabling our members to view those items whenever they are in the Clubhouse.

  • A Tribute and Vote of Thanks to Our Beloved Jesuits and Teachers
    A Tribute and Vote of Thanks to our Beloved Jesuits and Teachers From the classes of Form 5 (1970) and the classes of Form 6 (1971) December 19, 2015 (updated March 31, 2016) initiated and edited by Simon Luk What an incredible 5 decades! Our deepest gratitude to our Jesuits and teachers who have devoted their energies to helping us to make intellectual discoveries, to sharpen our mental tools and to discover ourselves. We remember our Jesuits because they have influenced what we do with our life, filled with Christian love and values. As some of us cannot attend our Hong Kong reunion in 2015, we have asked our classmates to prepare short notes about themselves to thank our teachers who have enlightened us and to reconnect us in the future. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this project and who has sent in compassionate and touching notes about our experience at school. When I started this project, my mission is to show, through our classmates’ own words, how the seeds of Christian values sown by our Jesuits fifty years ago [春風化雨] have blossomed. Many of us are Christians and adhere to our core values. Our December 19, 2015 reunion has provided an unforgettable celebration made special by the company of our teachers and classmates with their own stories to tell, some new, some familiar. Reunion has always been a time to celebrate these relationships with each other and with our high school. Our photos will bring back fond memories. We treasure what we shared and look forward to sharing our next fifty years together.
