William Lore

Lore/Traditional Chinese : 羅景鎏, February 28, 1909 – September 22, 2012) was a lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Navy during World War II.

[7] Throughout the course of the war, Lore, initially as an acting sub-lieutenant, served in several theaters of the conflict, first in Ottawa, Canada under the Operational Intelligence Center at the Canadian Naval Service Headquarters.

[8] By August 1945, whilst Japan was undergoing negotiations of an official surrender following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States, Lore was next loaned to the British Pacific Fleet.

He was later a part of the British Fleet that sailed into Hong Kong Harbor, which had been under the Japanese Imperial Army's occupation since its takeover in 1941.

On August 30, Lore led a detachment of troops with interpreters to the Imperial Japanese Prisoner of War Camp located in Sham Shui Po, where many of the Canadian, British and Hong Kong prisoners of war were imprisoned and held under atrocious conditions by the Imperial Japanese military.
