docchippy Posted 24 July , 2004 Share Posted 24 July , 2004 Any pals know about the Hong Kong plague? Believe 1 KSLI assisted with clearing slums in Hong Kong in 1894 and were awarded a medal. However 4 KSLI posted to Hong Kong in 1915 visited a memorial to the plague victims and KSLI in Happy Valley. Anyone know if it is still there or a picture?
