British Army Aid Group
Members of the British Army Aid Group (BAAG) are rescuing an British Army officer from the Japanese POW camps during their occupation of Hong Kong in the Second World War.
The British Army Aid Group was on Hong Kong paramilitary resistance movement consisting of British and other allied forces in Hong Kong and south China during the Second World War. In accordance with the order of battle, the BAAG was classified as an MI9 unit that was tasked with assisting their allied prisoners from escaping the Japanese POW camps.
Throughout the war the BAAG sent agents to gather military intelligence in south China and Hong Kong and these agents had also facilitated many of the POWs' escapes from Hong Kong to the Allied Command Headquarters in Chungking, China's wartime capital. Escaped POWs were then debriefed by BAAG staff and subsequently rejoined the war effort. 128 men, for example, were re-trained for further operations in Burma with the Chindits.
After the war, the BAAG played a vital role in the resumption of British sovereignty over Hong Kong.
In the aftermath of the Battle Of Hong Kong Lt. Colonel Sir Lindsay Ride. He was captured. Before the end of the battle, he had been the commander of the Hong Kong Voluntary Defence Corps Field Ambulance. Shortly after being captured, Ride escaped from an POW Camp in Sham Sui Po, with three other men. He suggested forming a group that became known as the British Army Aid Group.
The British Army Aid Group was supposed to appear in a brickfilm about the Second Sino-Japanese War, in the Hong Kong segment. However the concept was dropped, mainly because it would be too long and confusing, an idea for an seperate brickfilm has been proposed about the Battle Of Hong Kong, but it is still in on the drawing table.
