The Vision of Hong Kong Veteran Phil Doddridge
With the Battle of Hong Kong holding such a unique part of history, the HKVCA created this stunning grave marker to be placed on the gravestones of those who fought in the battle of Hong Kong. They were created to identify, recognize, and honour all those who fought. The markers themselves are brass plated discs that have been custom forged and painted with industrial paint. Diameter is 7.5 cm or 3 inches.
First contact the cemetery for permission for you to install it. Each HK gravestone marker is currently $75.00. Mailing included.
Then:
- Check out our 'C' Force site. Under the dropdown Resources 'C' Force reports, enter your veteran's last name.
- Verify that the gravestone has or hasn't a HK gravestone marker by viewing the report.
- Speak with other family members and consider placing an order for a gravestone marker.
