Chan Sau Tak was described by Paul Tsui as a "Student of Wah Yan".  He would have been a young person at that time.  I met him when he was living in Vancouver in the 80s.  Paul Tsui and Chan and myself attended Remembrance Day at Richmond Hill, BC.  The two of them presented a Poppy Wreath on behalf of the British Legion (China Branch) with permission from HK.  They wanted to highlight the Canadian linkage when there were massive immigration of HK people to Canada at that time.  The event was covered by the local Chinese language press.  I understand that they presented the wreaths for several more years subsequently. My impression was that most of the members of the local Veterans Club were Korean War Veterans.  Efforts were made to contact the Commander of the Canadian Troops, Col. Price.  However, he was said to be already in dementia by that time.   

When Paul Tsui was writing his memoirs in Vancouver, devoting a chapter to the BAAG, he would have benefited from the insights of Chan Sau-tak with respect to Group B.
