old HK newspapers of Dec. 1941

Submitted by hkspace_wl on


Most HK newspapers in various archives are covered up to Nov. 1941 only, microfiches included.(*) English newspaper available copies likely ended on 30 Sept. 1941.

But there is one exception found and preserved in sharp images.

The Kung Sheung Daily News of Dec. 1 to Dec 11 are available online (link). In other words, four days (from Dec. 8) into the 18-days period of HK defense are covered.
For readers in English, the Chinese newspaper is just one more step to be readable nowadays.
For example, I use Gemini 2.5 Flash, upload a selected cutting and readily have a quite good translation in English at hand.


(*) If readers have come across more other sources of Dec. 1941 newspapers, you are most welcome to share on.
