Notes

Franklin Gimson had been the Colonial Secretary in Hong Kong when the Japanese invaded, and following the Japanese surrender established a provisional government in Hong Kong. He would remain Governor of Singapore until 1952.

This event was filmed by three cameramen. However their coverage is quite similar to each other, and so it is difficult to be sure who shot which part. The sequence including the arrival of Sir Keith Park was shot by Captain Walter.
