Exploring the War Graves and History of the Cenotaph in Hong Kong,
In today's episode we start in Central to take in the 2024 Remembrance Day service. We'll learn about the history of the cenotaph since its construction in 1923 before heading around Hong Kong to the two main military cemeteries; Sai Wan and Stanley.
Here are the details of the HK D DAY exhibition which is currently on display at the Chinese University - https://www.dday.hk/

For general information about the history of Hong Kong, David Bellis at www.gwulo.com has managed to create a wealth of photos, maps and social history stories. Big thanks to him for allowing the photo of the opening ceremony to be used.
