Thank You

We must give thanks to those who have kept and continue to keep the Lisbon Maru story alive

Major (retired) Brian Finch is an ex-serving member of the Middlesex Regiment. He had heard the stories of the sinking of the Lisbon Maru from other soldiers of the regiment, who were fortunate to survive the tragedy and continued to serve within the regiment, after their release from Japanese Prisoner of War camps. The hand drawn picture of the sinking of the Lisbon Maru, by a member of the US Navy was also hung in the regiment's Officers' Mess.

Tony Banham continues to live in Hong Kong and works as a writer and historian. He has written several well researched books on the war in Hong Kong, from which much of the website information is drawn and which he has graciously allowed us to use. He also manages the very informative website, Hong Kong War Diary. Please see our Backdrop page for links.
