I have seen no such flags as to which you refer,
but there are two flags down with the Hong Kong Regiment
They were taken
at Kowloon which should be examined.
at the action of Lam Chun pass. Mr. May saw them. A
resident of Sam Chun confirms information already conveyed
to you that over 1000 men from Chinese Territory took
part in the fighting and alleged that Major Fong who
was stationed at Sam Chun must have known what was going
on and took no step to stop the movement
This confirms the Chinese letter already forwarded
by me from Ping Shan stating that you are allowed to
carry out your settled plan.
