Hong Kong patch
C Force, Canada's ill fated contribution to defend Hong Kong were taken as POW's by the Japanese and suffered in captivity. At the end of the war and with liberation, the Hong Kong veterans were issued a special patch, with the letters HK in oriental style script embroidered on a scarlet circle. The patches are scarce, but show up now and then.
However, beware of this crap. The size is wrong, it has a merrowed edge, is fully embroidered and appears to be of a synthetic fibre. Obviously a reproduction. http://cgi.ebay.com/Canada-Army-WWII...lenotsupported |
