Dear all,
Does any member have special attention and research to the B.A.A.G. and its founder Colonel Lindsay Ride C.B.E. ? Seriously look for the formation sign as well. Bruno |

I'm interested in them as they operated in Southern China and Hong New territories and helped people escape from Hong Kong. I've a personal interest in the Battle of Hong Kong as my GF was involved in it.
Unfortunately don't have any items to them. Mick

Dear Mike,
I do have a book which was issued by The Lisbon Maru Association of Hong Kong namely The BAAG Saga: A wartime history of the part played by Hong Kong citizens in the Second World War. Unfortunately this book only in Chinese version. Cheers Bruno |

I have a book on the BAAG by Edwin Ride. Seems to be a decent account of their activities.

Wikipedia have articles on both the BAAG and Col Ride.
You might already have seen these but if not they might be useful.
