Battle of Hong Kong. From the stance of a person growing up in Hong Kong, this short essay
re-assesses the Battle of Hong Kong of December 1941 as recorded in the English and Chinese literature largely found in the University of Hong Kong Library. It examines the views of political leaders, War historians, veterans and civilians of different persuasions and makes some informed speculation about their focus. It argues that a common omission is the relative fighting power of the defender of Hong Kong. The essay argues that the performance of the Hong Kong garrison was much better than the defender of Crete or Singapore. It makes a few speculative suggestions for the effectiveness of the defence and concludes by making a case for further research into the Battle from historical and military science points of view.
