Thomas Tim Wong  wrote: "Ip Kam Wing sacrificed himself for the work.  No one knows how much the Police Reserves had done and suffered for the Crown, and only those who have survived  are able to describe the various ordeals."

From a statement by Thomas Wong in March, 1956.

Lawrence Tsui writes:

There was a Thomas Kew on the list of former wartime BAAG members.  The list was drafted circa 1951.  He served as a Clerk of the RE Store; was SQMS HK Volunteers, India during the War; and Clerk of RAF Store post-war.  The name is unusual, hence I thought there might be some connections to [Frederick Howard Kew].
