I think in the distance on the left, the faint outline of Hong Kong Island can be seen. Likely on a hillock at Whitfield Barracks. The warehouses of Kowloon Wharves below facing Canton Road. The soldiers appear to be looking northwest towards the Kowloon Naval Yard. See here
The piers at Kowloon Wharves were used by passenger liners, troopships, freighters etc. Other contributors may be able to assist and identify the vessel in the photo.

Thank you for the comment and I had not seen the outline in the background. I assume the ship is a freighter of some sort
