They were treated extremely badly in Sham Sui Po concentration camp by the second in command who is a Japanese born and grew up in British Columbia Canada by getting his utmost rage on these soldiers in revenge of all the discrimination he experienced growing up in Canada. It is a true and sad fact that Asian were badly treated in those days and before in British Columbia Canada with heavy head tax and with two anti-Asian riots in Vancouver Japantown and Chinatown in 1907.

當年香港貪賂風行，尤其警隊華洋勾結，警黑同枝，是公開秘密。主要是英國戰後，朝野自顧不暇，而且難民太多，民衆又知識水平低下，才有這現象。 Parlak 兄說得對，世間不分種族，有好人，但也必有壞人，若地方制度好，則培育好人，壞人受控；制度壞，則壞人當道，好人被害。這就是自由世界和極權國度的分別。至於，以族羣對立，互相仇視，就正中極權下懷，可挑撥互噬，置身事外，分別擊破，這簡單道理，卻又有不少人仍不明白，甚至拒絕去明白。
Japanese force is 10,000 plus strong and the colonial force only have about 1600. About 5000 Japanese soldiers died in this invasion and several hundred died from colonial force mainly young Canadian soldiers who never knew they were heading to death.
better than a history book in our education system, very detail, your hard work is appreciated, we are all expecting your next video about the start of this "Oriental pearl" even it has been destroyed by our HK people
Two books. One in English and the other in Chinese are worth reading. The English book titled 'Not a Slightest Chance' detailing almost every single event including the names of the persihed soldiers from Dec 8th to the moment of surrendering at the Peninsula Hotel on Christmas Day. The Chinese book with chinese Title 'The Hardship of Three Years and Eight Months' by Tse Wing Kwong with the most comprehensive 1995 edition published on the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Hong Kong which covers almost every aspect.
'Not a Slightest Chance' tells the true prelude of the fall of Hong Kong . Winston Churchill wanted all troops in Hong Kong back to England. Young wanted to do his best to defense (avoided to be attacked) Hong Kong.
@@danny99ho This is the reason why large number of Canadian soldiers were deployed in Hong Kong which is almost half the colonial force. A great number of Indian soldiers and a relatively lesser number though not small of local chinese volunteers.
Where did you get this information ? CY Leung was a graduate from Bristol Polytechnic in Estate Management.My ex co-worker mentioned his name to me when I was under him doing the QS (Quantity Surveying) work in the early 1980's.
啡伯，昨天到過西灣軍人墳場，其中有一個墓碑位置是獨立在一列的樹旁，不知這位軍人是否當中最高階的軍人，資料如下 : KONINKRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN A. F. WANNEE MIL. SLD. K. N.I.L. 17.4.1914 23.12.1945 純粹八卦一下這是什麼軍階，啡伯如果知道請賜教，如果不知就不需要費神了。
