Last December, the Japanese apologized for the treatment of Canadian prisoners taken in the fall of Hong Kong in 1941. Part of the Royal Rifles of Canada was recruited from my old neighbourhood, and a significant proportion of officers and men from a predecessor of my old reserve unit rebadged to go to Asia. I think a dozen slave labour camp survivors are left. Two generations too late, but at least they are coming around.
