Mate, two things: 1. Link does not work (for me, at least) 2. Do you know if there is information about C Force available there?
Hi Warlord, Sorry my link didn't work! What was "C Force"? Is this in relation to Hong Kong? I searched the archive for it, in quotes, and came across several hits. A war diary for C Force is listed as being in microfilm but I could not find an online digital copy. I imagine there are may be details that were considered sensitive and that is why. If this IS what you are looking for, I know someone who researched Hong Kong for his dissertation and might have the files.
