It will be a real slap in the faces of vets if the PM leaves a few hundred million in Cambodia at this time of year

Harper, who is in Seoul for the G20 summit, was joined by British Prime Minister David Cameron and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard as they paid their respects to soldiers who fought in the Korean War of 1950-1953.

Stephen Harper marked Remembrance Day with a visit to Hong Kong, where nearly 2,000 Canadians waged a grim but exceptionally valiant battle at the start of World War II that ended with hundreds being captured and sent to brutal Japanese prison camps.
On the last day of a swing through Asia, the prime minister visited Sai Wan War Cemetery, where many of the dead are buried from the Battle of Hong Kong, in which a contingent from Canada suffered one of the highest casualty rates in any theatre of action involving Canada during the Second World War.
