Comments

Many thanks to IDJ.  I know that issues of the SCMP for the duration of the battle exist, but they are not available in microfilms in public libraries.  Does anyone have access to them?

I am surprised about the front page -- I expected headlines like "WAR COMES TO HONG KONG" in large font size.
