Two Hong Kong Veterans Remembered in Canada
War veterans Harry Atkinson and Bert Delridge of Winnipeg, both survivors of the 1941 Battle of Hong Kong and long-time leaders of the Hong Kong Veterans Association, died within days of each other. The obituary highlights their tireless efforts with Veterans Affairs for better pensions and support for widows and survivors, and recalls a moving Winnipeg convention tribute that linked Gallipoli to their wartime ordeal.
