Given my original thread "Cadets In Training: U.S. Allies & Enemies Prepare" is snafued in technical hangups I'm opening this extension of it so that the thread and topic may continue, or, as is more the case, resume. The apparently indefinitely sidelined thread -- removed from public access -- has 42K+ hits and more than 500 posts since I opened it in December 2018 so I wanted to be sure a measure of it could continue.
I want to thank Schweddy for his personal attention to the snafu in the original cadet thread, and for his patient communications with me in his efforts to resolve the technical issues that are apparently affecting the DP domain too. While I lost access to page 22 of the thread, I was able to resume posting to it into page 24 before Schweddy contacted me to advise me the thread had to be pulled and investigated so it could be restored. So, in the meantime and for whatever period of time that may require....
I'm refreshing in this first extension post three specific posts I'd made about the Hong Kong Corps of Cadets (Army) Adventure Corps and its Bravo Squadron Guard of Honour that has guardianship of the guidon of the former Royal Hong Kong Regiment of Volunteers. The RHKR (V) originated in 1854 and was dissolved in 1995 as part of the UK-CCP Agreement that HKG be returned to the sovereignty of the CCP-PRC. The Royal Hong Kong 75th Infantry Regiment of Chinese volunteers was commanded by officers of the Royal British Army Force. The 75th fought magnificently with the British in many battles and alone made the final and fierce defense of Hong Kong in December, 1941.
The HKG Adventure Corps of Cadets is the successor organization to the Regiment's Cadet Youth League that was a feeder force to the Regiment itself. The sacred guidon of the former RHKR Cadet Youth League is the guidon passed on to the Bravo Squadron Guard of Honour and the Adventure Corps Cadet Force. The guidon of the Regiment and of the Cadet Youth League are one and the same of course, and now, by Royal Command of HM The Queen, the HKG Cadet Adventure Corps has the guidon under the guardianship of the Bravo Squadron Guard of Honour.
My next post will be of the Regiment itself marching with the guidon and of the Cadet Youth League itself parading with the guidon after being inspected by the cadre Major commander of the six companies of the Regiment's cadet youth league force. These videos go back to the early 1990s

All cadets of the Adventure Corps know this history and they know it well.
Notably btw, Hong Kong Cadet Force as a whole does not observe national anthems, national colors/banners in its ceremonies, training, meetings, while all commands are given in English. The marching and ceremonial manual of the HKG cadet force, ie, Army Adventure Corps, Air Cadets, Sea Cadets, is British right down to the bagpipes and the open palm salute and so on. The field training manuals remain the British armed forces sources for Adventure Corps, Air Cadet Corps, Sea Cadet Corps. Indeed, cadets, cadre, parents and supporters want nothing to do with the PLA or the mainland Chinese military. Absolutely nothing. Whatsoever.
