While praising those who demonstrated most openly their dedication to Hong Kong by defending the territory in 1941, Mr Patten said the Volunteers who had served in the years of peace had not been content to live on the reputation of their forebears.

Throughout the years, the Regiment had devoted its service to handling the arrival of the Vietnamese, serving at the border and providing assistance in times of emergency, he added.
"You have earned honours worthy to stand beside the honours won in battle,' the Governor said.
"The Royal Hong Kong Regiment, the Volunteers, passes away, but the memory will live with each of you who have served and the memory will live for as long as there are men and women who take pride in the history of this city."

ED appeals to schools for co-operation
A letter will be issued to all school heads on Monday (September 4) to appeal for their co-operation in applying the school rules flexibly on punctuality in case their students are late during the closure of the Kowloon-bound lanes of Tuen Mun Road, an Education Department spokesman said today (Saturday).
District education officers will repeat this appeal to school management during their school visits starting next week.
The spokesman assures parents that their children would not be penalised if they are late for school because of such exceptional circumstances.
