Sat, 6 Dec 1941
We were dancing in the Rose Room of the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong on the evening of Saturday the 6th December, 1941. During the evening an announcement was made on the loudspeaker, recalling all service personnel to report to their headquarters immediately. It was an ominous sign that war with Japan was close at hand.
