Hour of Darkness: Canadians in Hong Kong: 1941 (1x2)

Air date: Oct 06, 2008

Canada volunteers troops to reinforce the garrison in Britain's colony of Hong Kong. When the Japanese invade the colony, the Canadians and other troops fight desperately, but are finally forced to surrender on Christmas Day, 1941. Alfred Babin takes us to the site of one of the massacres of the battle, at St Stephen's hospital.
