Five more policemen lost their lives in a bloodbath in Wan Chai that might have been averted. But travel forward just a little and the outcome at a hold-up in Canton Road is very different.</p><p>These three incidents, spread over 11 years in the early 20th century, were some of the most significant events for the Hong Kong Police Force.
