Looking for help to identify these photos my grandfather took when he was in Hong Kong with the British Army in the 1950s. I've carried out some research by looking at old photos but with limited success. The photos have also been shared with a number of Facebook forums. I'm really grateful for any help anyone can give as my goal is to build an album showing my grandfather's photos against the modern day photos of our time in Hong Kong.

The view is towards Kowloon City. In the centre is the refugee camp with the barracks on the right. The Kowloon City Police flats are behind the nissen huts.The dark structure on the left is the gasometer at To Kwa Wan. Probably taken from the roof of La Salle College.
