After Pearl Habour Canada sent her first troops into battle. She sent the Winnipeg Grenadiers and the Royal Rifles of Quebec to the Crown Colony of Hong Kong in December 1941. THey were overwhelmed by Japanese troops and the colony was surrendered by General Maltby of the British army on December 25, 1941. All the troops were taken prisoner and held until August 1945 in slave camps under brutal conditions involving torture and starvation. Canada would not suffer another such disaster until the Dieppe Landings.
