The Sai Wan Memorial is located at the entrance of Sai Wan Cemetery. 1,505 Commonwealth casualties of the Second World War are buried or commemorated at this cemetery, of which 444 of the burials are the remains of unidentified soldiers, including those of 107 Canadian soldiers, most of whom were killed or died of wounds during the defense of Hong Kong, which took place from December 8th to December 25th, 1941. This is one such grave marker. There is a possibility that the remains of Private MARCEL CHABOYER lie beneath this grave marker, or one of the other 106 grave markers in Sai Wan Cemetery that simply read, A SOLDIER OF THE 1939-1945 WAR. A CANADIAN REGIMENT. KNOWN UNTO GOD. The unidentified soldiers are commemorated at the Sai Wan Memorial.

MÉMORIAL DE SAI-WAN Victoria, Hong Kong
Le Mémorial de la baie de Sai-Wan honore plus de 2 000 membres des forces terrestres du Commonwealth et de l'Empire britannique morts pendant la défense de Hong Kong au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
Ce Mémorial, qui a été construit sous la forme d'un abri long de 24 mètres et large de 5,5 mètres, est situé à l'entrée du cimetière de guerre de la baie de Sai-Wan, à l'extérieur de Victoria, la capitale de Hong Kong. Dans l'avant-cour semi-circulaire, deux grandes ouvertures mènent vers l'intérieur de l'édifice. Les noms figurent sur des panneaux de pierre de Portland. Voici la traduction de l'inscription commémorative :
«1939 - 194 Les officiers et les soldats dont ce Mémorial rappelle le souvenir sont morts pendant la défense de Hong Kong en décembre 1941 et pendant les années de captivité qui ont suivi, et ils n'ont aucune sépulture connue. »
Le côté nord du Mémorial est ouvert, et quatre piliers de granit soutiennent un toit de cuivre. De cet emplacement surélevé, situé à 305 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer, le visiteur peut voit toute l'étendue du cimetière de guerre où reposent quelque 1 500 hommes, de même que toute l'étendue d'eau qui le sépare du continent chinois, c'est-à-dire une vue magnifique de la mer et des montagnes.
La région de Cape Collinson compte de nombreux cimetières. En marchant sur cette étroite route à une voie, vous passerez devant le cimetière catholique situé à flanc de coteau à gauche de la route, et devant le cimetière militaire de Hong Kong, à droite. Le cimetière de guerre de la baie de Sai-Wan est à mi-chemin sur la route de Cape Collinson, en face des cimetières musulman et bouddhique.
Vous pouvez également prendre un taxi à partir du terminus de Chai Wan et emprunter la même route. Vous pouvez aussi prendre un petit autobus public, pour la route no 16M, allant du terminus de Chai Wan (MTR) à Stanley.
