New Book:
“Beyond the Call”. Royal Canadian Corps of Signals, Brigade Headquarters, “C” Force, Hong Kong and Japan, 1941-1945, is the title of a book recently published by the HKVCA. Author Burke Penny writes about his uncle, Donald A. Penny who passed away in 1982 but who left behind information that initiated this book along with the experiences of several other signalmen.
Through a special funding arrangement, the costs of printing have been covered; so all the proceeds from sales will go directly to the organization. Copies can be purchased from the Books section on the Association website.
