About Our Image Galleries

Our galleries sites are designed to be the "picture" part of the main HKVCA web site. As you take a look around, you'll see lots of photos (old and new), scans of newspaper and magazine articles, and historical documents.

NOTE: in addition to our main Gallery there are other galleries which you can visit by clicking on the links in the left sidebar:

• Newspaper Scans containing scans of the Winnipeg Free Press and Tribune covering events of Dec '41 until Aug '42. This gallery is separate due to its size - images are about 4MB each, so may be slow to download. Note: there are also newspaper scans in the Main Gallery.
• Yokahama Cemetery: general images plus images of the gravestones of 'C' Force members buried there.
• Captions for the Winnipeg Grenadiers Photo Album which was created before the deployment to Jamaica. We've created the captions so that search engines can index the album, allowing names to be found.

A Word About Copyright

Some images on this site may be subject to copyright. We have published them to provide as broad a base as possible for the documentation of the Battle of Hong Kong along with associated information. If you believe that an image on our site is there without the permission of the copyright holder, please contact us with the details. We do not want to break any laws, but we do wish to do our utmost to document this important part of our history.

Using the Galleries

To save time, click on the "Help" link that you'll find on the master index page of your selected Gallery. This will open up a window, showing you all the features of JAlbum (the programme used to create the Gallery), allowing you to:

• view slides
• run a slide show
• download a selected image, and, last but not least,
• navigate around the hundreds of slides we have waiting for you.

Searching

As we get the time, we are attempting to provide captions for all items so that they will be indexed by various internet search engines. To save time, try searching on a name - you may be pleasantly surprised!
