The aerial photo from 1 Feb 1945 shows there was one of the wartime cooking areas at this site. In the photo it has the same appearance as the cooking areas that can still be seen today in the valley above Quarry Bay, so this site would have had 10 platforms, with each platform having 8 wood-fired stoves, and each stove having a circular opening above it to support a large wok for cooking.

Battle of Hong Kong food store?
The nearby camoflaged huts that are seen to the northwest of the cooking stove could be the food store where a group of British soldiers took position in, to fire at Japanese soldiers entrenched in a nearby culvert. I think commander was Major Neve ( or Neave).
