Remembering the heroes: Canadian war veteran E.D. Shayler (centre) at a ceremony at Stanley Military Cemetery yesterday to honour the 20 Canadians who are buried there. The ceremony concluded the 60th Anniversary of the Liberation of Hong Kong Prisoners of War (Overseas Event). Shayler fought both on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon before being captured and forced to work in Japanese coal mines during World War II. "Don't make me out to be a hero," he said. "The other guys who were there were. I just went along for the ride."
