Are you sure about that?

I am not a medals man, and had thought it was a toss up between the Paciific Star and the Burma Star, so I checked it out before I posted.

This being the internet I looked for more than one source, and found three saying that the soldiers who fought at Hong Kong would have got the Burma Star. As you say "if they met the criteria".
