Most welcome, Catherine. You and Sean have succeeded in being able to express so much, so succinctly – not only the military history, but also Chinese culture – in a way that's engaging to children. I was quite impressed and enjoyed the story myself.

Jung was one of the first 13 recruits for #SOE Operation Oblivion. Planned insertion near Hong Kong by submarine from Australia. The op was cancelled; Jung was injured in training; 5 of the 13 deployed to Borneo with SRD. Most Force 136 Chinese Canadians trained in India; 10 parachuted into Malaya.
