In the busy commercial Central district on Hong Kong Island, there is a small hidden garden of remembrance located at St. John’s Cathedral which is the oldest surviving Western ecclesiastical building in Hong Kong as well as being the oldest Anglican Church in the Far East. Beside the Memorial Cross of the garden, a tombstone covers the remains of PTE R.D. Maxwell who was killed in Wan Chai three days before the fall of Hong Kong in the battle with the Japanese Armed Forces in December 1941. The only grave within the Cathedral precinct, it is registered with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
