British Forces and other foreign powers occupied parts of China in the 19th century as part of the growth in British economic interests in the Far East. The United Kingdom fought a war against China between 1839 and 1942, which is known as the Opium War. China had remained isolated as international trade grew from the west, and was culturally very different to Europe. However, speculative traders began importing opium from India into China for that country’s large population. The Emperor of China became so alarmed at the problems caused by the increased use of high quality opium in his country, that he banned the trade. The United Kingdom saw this action as an attack on free trade, and against British interests in the area. The port of Canton was the only point of entry to China for British trade, and it was felt necessary for the British to use military force to pursue their commercial interests. Troops from India were used to enforce British policy. Britain’s jewel in the crown, however, was their possession of Hong Kong. They seized the island in 1839, with the cessation of the island being confirmed by the treaty of Nanking in 1842. China leased the New Territories to the United Kingdom in 1898 for 100 years. Following the First World War, The British maintained settlements in Tientsin, Shanghai and Wei Hai Wei, as well as their forces deployed to Hong Kong. Tension in China began escalating well before the accepted commencement of the Second World War. The U.K. sent reinforcements to Shanghai in 1927 due to disturbances in the city, and withdrew from Wei Hai Wei in 1931. China Command was an independent command responsible for the British possessions of Hong Kong and Kowloon, and the British concessions in the Chinese cities of Shanghai and Tientsin. The command was a Major General's appointment. The garrison of Shanghai and Tientsin in 1930 comprised two British infantry battalions plus supporting services. Hong Kong was the most significant garrison, and included the Royal Navy presence. The Army deployed two British and one Indian infantry battalion to Hong Kong and Kowloon, with the headquarters of British Troops in China located at Hong Kong. In 1931, Japan invaded and annexed Manchuria, but the main increase in international tension arose in July 1937, when Japan and China commenced full-scale war. The two British concessions in China were abandoned in December 1939 (Tientsin) and August 1940 (Shanghai). The colony of Hong Kong was seen as isolated and difficult to reinforce in the event of war with Japan. In the event, one Indian battalion was sent to reinforce the colony in early 1940, and two Canadian battalions arrived in November 1941. This allowed the creation of a second infantry brigade in Hong Kong. ©www.BritishMilitaryH istory.co.uk Page 2 8 June 2018 [BRITISH TROOPS IN CHINA HISTORY & PERSONNEL] The Japanese invaded on 8 December 1941, and despite some heroic resistance, the Governor decided to surrender the colony at 15.15 on 25 December 1941. 1,045 British and Canadian Officers, other ranks and Indian other ranks were killed, and 1,068 reported missing. The rest faced the next five years in captivity. ©www.BritishMilitaryH istory.co.uk Page 3 8 June 2018 [BRITISH TROOPS IN CHINA HISTORY & PERSONNEL] General Officer Commanding – (G.O.C.) 1937 Major General A.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. : A Historiography of C Force FEATURE A Historiography of C Force TONY BANHAM Abstract: Following the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong in 1941, a small number of books covering the then Colony’s war experiences were published. Although swamped by larger and more significant battles, the volume of work has expanded in the years since and is no longer insignificant. This historiography documents that body of literature, examining trends and possible future directions for further study with particular respect to the coverage of C Force. h e f a t e o f the 1,975 men and two women of C Force, sent T to Hong Kong just before the Japanese invaded, has generated a surprising volume of literature. It was fate too that a Canadian, Major General Arthur Edward Grasett, was the outgoing commander of British troops in China— including the Hong Kong garrison— in mid-1941 (being replaced that August by Major General Christopher M altby of the Indian army), and fate that his determination that the garrison be reinforced would see a Briton, Brigadier John Kelburne Lawson, arrive from Canada in November 1941 as commander of this small force sent to bolster the colony’s defences.

This consisted of a peaked cap, jacket with patch pockets, and breeches with puttees (leather leggings for officers), ankle boots, and spurs for mounted men. Dismounted men had no spurs and wore trousers instead of breeches. A special Army Order dated 5 August 1914 ordered the wearing of service dress by all ranks for all purposes, with the exception of the Household Cavaby and Foot Guards in London, and from that date Full Dress became virtually obsolete. A spare pair of boots, spare suit of service dress (excluding the cap) and spare set of underwear for each man was stored in his kitbag and left at the base in the care of the company, squadron or battery storeman. For officers these items were packed in a leather valise carried in the transport vehicles with the divisional train. The soldier also had with him a further spare pair of socks and a knitted woollen headdress known as a 'cap, comforter', and a greatcoat. For dismounted men this was normally carried in the pack: for mounted men, rolled behind the saddle. Great emphasis was placed in the importance of clothing, especially boots, being properly fitted. The Clothing Regulations contained detailed instructions for measuring and fitting men with clothing, especially recruits whose clothes were ordered to be fitted with an allowance for future growth.
