THUNDER BAY — Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 5, along with the Hong Kong Veterans Commemorative Association, unveiled a plaque Sunday afternoon that is dedicated to 2,000 troops who defended Hong Kong during World War II including the father of Darlene Axent Gilmore.
Like many others during the Second World War, Gilmore’s father was a young man when enrolled in the military and Gilmore says that he and others had no idea what they were in for overseas; her father was only in Hong Kong for a few weeks before the city surrendered, and he and others spent the four years and eight months as prisoners of war.
George Romick, president of the Port Arthur Branch No. 5 of the Royal Canadian Legion, said that he and other executives agreed right away to install the plaque when Gilmore approached them with her request.
