Welcome
to the Hong Kong Disciplined Services Collectibles Newsletter
The
tragic story of Sergeant H.W. Jackson, Hong Kong Police.
Steve Verralls one of our members and an avid collector of medals
has been kind enough to provide us with an account of the life of Sergeant
H.W. Jackson, HKP.
It's an interesting and enjoyable read and gives us a brief peek into
the life of Hong Kong policemen during the Japanese occupation. The full
story is at our website in a new area entitled Life
in the Disciplined Services.
We hope that Steve and others will be so kind as to provide us with more
stories about members of our Disciplinary Forces.
