LISTS

These lists provide the names of the individual soldiers by regiment who left Vancouver on 1941 October 27th and were on the casualty lists provided by the Department of National Defence on 1941 December 26th as members who were at Hong Kong. The total number is 1977 soldiers including Gander, the mascot for the Royal Rifles of Canada. The list provides the names, rank, regimental number, unit, company, platoon and where they were from. The company, platoon and place where they were from is based on the information I have at this time:

• Brigade Headquarters
• The Winnipeg Grenadiers
• The Royal Rifles of Canada

There are four pages dealing with soldier casualty information related to 'C' Force:

• Battle Deaths
