  FEATURED WEB PAGE
  

  This week's featured web page is about medals that relate
  to the Hong Kong Police. Of particular interest is the
  mention of plague medals. "I went back to the newspapers
  of 1894 and found an article on the Plague Committee
  thanking the police for their help. It mentions each of the
  officers who received medals and describes what they did
  to receive them. ... It's a fascinating snippet of history."
  

  "According to the newspaper account, there should have
  been 36 Plague medals awarded to police officers. But in
  the course of the last 80 years only three of them have
  been seen by anybody."
