DEADLY DECEMBER- The Battle of Hong Kong
Ronald
C Parker, the son of a WW ll Hong Kong veteran, has written a book that
tells the wrenching story of one of the great battles of World War ll
, “DEADLY DECEMBER, The Battle of Hong Kong ”.
He is the son of Major Maurice A Parker, Commanding Officer of “D”
Company, The Royal Rifles of Canada. The author was born on April 28,
1939 in Quebec City. He spent 7 1/2 years in the 57th Loc. Bty., RCA (Militia).
He moved to London, Ontario in 1962 where he resides with his family to
this day.
On December 8th 1941, hours after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor,
they launched an air attack on the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong.
For the first time the saga is told from a Canadian perspective, using
the words of those soldiers who fought that, long ago, almost forgotten
battle.
Some 50,000 battle-tested Japanese soldiers stood poised on the mainland
waiting to storm Fortress Hong Kong. It was defended by 15,000 inexperienced
British, Indian, and local militia troops, along with Canadian soldiers
from The Royal Rifles of Canada and The Winnipeg Grenadiers. This is their
story.
This book DEADLY DECEMBER is dedicated to his Dad, and to all the
brave men and women who fought The Battle of Hong Kong. It is meant to
keep the memory of those men and women alive.
