Two Chinese Canadian brothers killed six months apart during the World War II will soon be nominated for national recognition by the Chinese Canadian Military Museum:
Asian-Canadian soldiers lauded. Joseph Hong, who died in action on May, 23, 1944, was a navigator in the Royal Canadian Air Force, while his brother George Hong, who died Sept. 8, 1944, was an army private. The two men were among 600 to 800 Canadian-born Chinese who volunteered to serve in the Canadian military during the Second World War.
