In this photograph taken on December 4, 2016, Don Chapman (C), whose father served in World War II, holds a copy of the book 'Where Life and Death Hold Hands' that details author William Allister's experiences in the Battle of Hong Kong, during the Canadian Commemorative Ceremony honouring those who died during the battle and World War II, in Hong Kong's Sai Wan War Cemetery. High up on a hillside in the south of Hong Kong, shaded beneath dense green foliage, are the pockmarked remnants of World War II pillboxes, a reminder of the city's failed attempt to fend off a Japanese invasion. It is 75 years since Hong Kong fell -- less than three weeks after the Japanese first attacked what was then a British colony. / AFP / TENGKU Bahar / TO GO WITH HongKong Japan politics WWII (Photo credit should read TENGKU BAHAR/AFP/Getty Images)
