Fallen heroes: Gallant Garden in Wo Hop Shek Public Cemetery is the resting place for public officers killed on duty.

Located at Wo Hop Shek Public Cemetery in the New Territories, Gallant Garden was commissioned in November 1996 for burial of civil servants killed on duty.

Having 110 earth burial spaces, 165 urn spaces and a columbarium consisting of 120 niches, the garden is managed by the Food & Environmental Hygiene Department.

The burial spaces and niches in Gallant Garden are reserved for civil servants killed on duty. A memorial plaque will be erected inside the garden to register civil servants who died on duty to commemorate their contributions.

An officer is considered to have died on duty if he dies of injuries received in the actual discharge of his work, without his own serious and wilful misconduct, and on account of circumstances attributable to the nature of his duty.
