Jan 1942 - L T Ride's escape from Japanese-held Hong Kong

Submitted by emride on Mon, 01/13/2020 - 09:56

78 years ago, four escapees from the Sham Shui Po Prisoner-Of-War camp were cautiously making their way north through the New Territories, hoping to get through Japanese lines to reach Free China. The group was led by Lieut-Colonel L. T. RIDE, and this is his report of the escape.
