On Remembrance Day and always, lest we forget

On this very special day, let us remember all, far and close, who have sacrificed for the betterment of others.

The Cenotaph was unveiled in 1923. It was initially inscribed with the words “The Glorious Dead” and the years “1914-1918” to commemorate the victims of the First World War. The years “1939-1945” were added later to honour victims of the Second World War. In the 1980s, “英魂不朽 浩氣長存” were carved on one side of the Cenotaph to make it clear that the Cenotaph commemorates all who fell, especially those who fell in the defence of Hong Kong.
