26 Mar 1942, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Posted: 20 Nov 2012 01:06 AM PST Book / Document:  Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Date of events described:  Thu, 1942-03-26 Over a story about a sinking 90 miles from Singapore, the Daily Express (page 4) places the headline 'Remember Hongkong!'. This seems to be the first use of a slogan - repeated in an editorial of April 8, 1942 - that will be turned into a poster and displayed on the walls of some workplaces: http://gwulo.com/node/13783. It seems that Eden's speech (http://gwulo.com/node/11079) has burnt the atrocities that took place during and shortly after the fighting into the public consciousness. They're one of the first things that come to the mind of family and freinds when they think of their loved ones held in 'Hong Kong'.
