The document summarizes facts about a cemetery in Hong Kong. It notes that many graves had British names on them, as the men had died young while serving in the British navy on ships like HMS. Their ages ranged from 18 to 45. In 1975, thousands of corpses had to be relocated and cremated to make way for a new highway and tunnel construction. Some remains could not be identified. A memorial also notes that many died from fever or in a cholera outbreak in specific years.

2. The European Influence on Hong Kong
In the cemetery, we observed the fact that a lot of graves had British people’s
names on it; i.e. Albert Jameson, Arthur Noying, and Edward Ladbrook
The men died young on the H.M.S (Her Majesty’s Service), which were military naval ships.
The youngest person was 18, and the oldest 45. Some were cooks, ironsmiths, etc
The Hong Kong Police had European Members

3. The Ossuary
In 1975, the Hong Kong Government announced the building
of the Aberdeen Tunnel. The highway towards the tunnel plowed
through the cemetery, and 3,000 corpses had to be moved and
cremated.
Some graves were so old, they didn’t know who the body belonged
to. They marked these ossuaries (below) unknown.

We saw an erected memorial. On it was etched:
