A well maintained Commonwealth War Cemetery. I was glad I was able to pause and pay respects.
一處很安靜的地方,讀書的時候已喜歡這裡,站在山崗上,你可以看到海灣的美景,令外在記念碑那邊,你會發現當年不同國籍的軍人,怎樣保衛香港😭
環境清静
赤柱軍人墳場(Stanley Military Cemetery),又名赤柱國殤紀念墳場,是香港開埠最初期1840年代的軍人墳場之一,設於香港南區赤柱半島黃麻角道;由「英聯邦戰爭公墓委員會 (Commonwealth War Graves Commission)」建造和管理。最初主要安葬英國駐港英軍及其家屬。墳場曾關閉,在1942年重開,以安葬當時在香港犧牲的香港保衛戰死難者,戰俘、平民、香港義勇軍及英軍服務團(British Army Aid Group,BAAG)成員。
Very beautiful, well-maintained cemetery. Jason Wordie leads historic walks here and does an excellent job of bringing the past to life. Google his name to find his site and book a tour.
Visited here in March 2005. Lest we forget.
Pay respect to those who serve and defend for us
