This is the second edition of my memoir. The first edition was printed in 2019. The second edition is not considered a sequel to the first edition. The major change is in the enhancement of Chapter 15; and further on..This book throws light on an important period in the history of Hong Kong. Nevertheless, it is not a history book but a personal memoir that begins in the pre-war British colony, moves through the traumatic events of war and Japanese occupation, and ends with the author’s successful career as an engineer with Jardine Matheson, one of Hong Kong’s oldest companies. Lost in the Battle for Hong Kong tells an unusual and intriguing story.Following the death of his mother Bob Tatz finds himself alone in the world at the age of seven. Sustained only by recent memories of happiness he is forced to adjust to life in a boarding school until the age of ten. As war breaks out he is lost in the streets of Kowloon but fortunately welcomed by a group of refugees fleeing the Japanese onslaught at the same time.At this early age and still without mentorship this young boy survived the uncertainties of wartime life. Under similar unforgiving circumstances, challenges in adolescence were overcome leading to positive self-discovery. Eventually, opportunities opened the way towards significant success in early adult life.Capitalizing on initial successful career in early adulthood, Bob Tatz made a momentous decision to immigrate to Canada to start a new life with his wife and child born in Hong Kong.
