How ‘Little Devils’ helped the battle for HK freedom

I know another person who was here when the Japanese invaded in 1941. Judge John, so called by me because he played the judge in "Enemy of the People" the Ibsen play he and I were in in 1994, in which I played Captain Horster. 
John was jailed by the Japanese in the Stanley internment camp. 
John is a keen sailor and fellow member of the Royal HK Yacht Club. 
I did not know about these "little dragons”,  HK children who helped fight the Japanese here in HK. 
And now the story of Lam Chun who was a little dragon. 
Good on the SCMP for telling us these little-known stories: Fighting for the future: the history of Hong Kong through the eyes of those who lived it
