The Hong Kong Volunteer Coy regrouped in India, attached to British 77th Indian Infantry Brigade, Chindits 2nd Burma campaign 1944

By the end of 1942, the British Army Aid Corps (BAA) had been established for over six months, attracting many Chinese-Civilian British soldiers to join after the fall of Hong Kong.

BAA Commander Sir John L. R. Smith organized nearly 200 Chinese-Civilian British soldiers into a "Chinese Unit" and sent them to Kweilin for retraining. In spring of 1943, the BAA received a request from British India to send the unit from Kweilin to India to form the "Indian Special Forces."

Their mission was extremely dangerous, requiring them to harass the Japanese rear in the harsh jungle environment. Many Chinese soldiers in the Hong Kong Volunteer Company were fluent in both Chinese and English, able to read Chinese characters in Japanese documents, and had received parachute training, making them ideal for intelligence and special forces roles, and highly sought after by many Allied units.

Brigadier General of the Indian 77th Infantry Orde Wingate, repeatedly asked the Chinese soldiers if they would still join despite such danger. Ultimately, 128 men were formed into the "Hong Kong Volunteer Company," each with a shoulder patch bearing the name "Hong Kong" on their uniform.

These 128 men of the China Unit (including Thomas Kew, Maximo Cheng...etc) were flown over the "Hump" Himalayas to Assam, India, and formally reorganized in February 1944 at the Deolali transit camp into the Hong Kong Volunteer Company, serving as a specialized unit within the Chindits.

The 77th Brigade was airdropped behind Japanese lines to sabotage bridges and other transport infrastructure, preventing reinforcements from reaching the battlefield. After two months of fierce jungle warfare, its strength had dwindled from 3,000 to 500.

On 14th March 1944, message was received by HQ. SPECIAL FORCE from 77 Bde Adv. HQ. that 121 members of the HONG KONG VOLUNTEERS were split up as follows –
