Escape from Hong Kong - The Final Hours

2nd Engineering Officer Harley M.N.

Harley, along with Sub-Lt Forster, & Captain Damsgard were hit by machine-gun fire from the pillbox (12) on the south-west base of Brick Hill while crewing the launch of HMS Cornflower taking Admiral Chan Chak and his party down Aberdeen Channel out of Hong Kong as the Colony succumbed to the overwhelming forces of the Imperial Japanise army.

Harley managed to get overboard but drowned while trying to swim ashore.
