Wpg Free Press - Dec 41-Jan42
These scans capture what the press reported to the public during and after the Battle of Hong Kong.
Thanks to William Bell for collecting these pages, and to his son Dennis Bell for providing them to HKVCA.

Warning: each scan is about 4MB in size, so each will take time to download, especially if you are on a slow connection.
Pages with individual photos have been annotated so that search engines will be able to index at least some of the content
