香港保衛戰75周年紀念活動 #LivMonHK
The commemorative event for the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Hong Kong: The Living Monuments
今年12月8日至25日，正值香港保衛戰75周年。18日戰事，是守軍捍衛家園，可歌可泣的血淚故事，但可惜這段歷史現時備受忽視。
受英國民間紀念索姆河戰役一百周年的活動啟發，我們將舉辦Living Monuments活動。30名志願演員會穿上當年香港義勇防衛軍的裝束，佐以導賞講解，推廣這段歷史，並悼念75年前戰爭中死傷的軍民。詳情如下：
This year marks the 75th Anniversary of The Battle of Hong Kong. 18 days of battles show the brave sacrifice of local volunteers and servicemen from the rest of the Commonwealth. Sadly this part of History has been ignored and most citizens in Hong Kong have no idea of the defence force.
Inspired by the memorial event of the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Somme throughout Great Britain. We have decided to organise the Living Monuments in Hong Kong. 30 volunteers will dress up as the soldiers of the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps(HKVDC) and with the help of docents, we hope to enhance Hongkonger’s interest on the 18 days of battles, at the mean time commemorating the war dead of the Battle of Hong Kong. Details are as follow:
