MR. LAU CHEUNG QUEEN'S COMMENDATION FOR BRAVE CONDUCT

-

Early in 1963 Mr. Lau was called to the scene of an oiled-fired

locomotive fire. He immediately assessed the situation and ordered the

removal of two oil storage tank wagons nearby and then, directing the

firemen to play their hoses on to one side of the locomotive cabin until

the flanes were out, he entered the cabin and, in spite of the intense heat,

turned off a fuel supply cock which was feeding the flames. Mr. Lau

displayed great courage in this action and risked his life in entering the

locomotive.
