[1] Several members of the 1st Bn were linked to the Hong Kong Chinese Regiment.
Following the Fall of Hong Kong to Japanese forces, most British personnel were captured, others died in the battle.
For those able to escape (or later released) from Hong Kong, some managed to re-group in China.
The Hong Kong Chinese Regiment and the British Army Aid Group kept the remaining elements of the Garrison alive and help it re-establish the British military after the Liberation of Hong Kong.
