Great display newspaper on HONG KONG resisting Japanese aggression in WW II.

The Battle of Hong Kong (8–25 December 1941) was one of the first battles of the Pacific campaign of World War II. On the same morning as the attack on Pearl Harbor, forces of the Empire of Japan invaded British Hong Kong and met the stiff resistance of its garrison, composed of local troops as well as British, Canadian and Indian units. In less than a week the defenders abandoned the mainland, and less than two weeks later, with their position on the island untenable, the colony surrendered.
