A fairly large complex with 2 exits, several turns and chambers. It's very easy to reach from the main path leading up to Mount High West. Turn left right before the first major stairs begin to ascend up the mountain. You will walk West and come across it to the right of the path after a very short walk on the well trodden ribbon trail. There's also a trench system S of the Tunnel.
A major position with long trenches and a at least 2 Tunnel entrances. One big entrance collapsed in the hillside and one smaller vertical entrance on the level of the trenches.
Tunnel rats are welcome to explore.
There's also a long waterpipe skirting around the slope from West to East. Don't go further downhill as the tunnels and trenches are just 10 to 15m above it.
20m long Trench system with various positions and fortified with concrete walls. Very easy reachable from HK Trail, just follow on top of the ridge slightly downhill to the West.
Stumbled across this completely overgrown hilltop position while following the ribbon trail traversing the N ridge of Mount Cameron.
There's a very small dug out tunnel with 2 entrances and a trench leading to a fortified position some meters away. Was late in the day so didn't explore much more. One for the Military buff's to check out. It's very easy to reach following the ribbon trail from the power mast going uphill.
Hi everyone,
I am a 78-year-old man born in 1942. I remember soon after the war was over - I was then still a kid, I saw something like a large oil-drums chained up one after another all the way from the Green Island on the HK side to the Stonecutters Island. No one seems to know what it was until one day a man told me it was for blocking ships from entering the harbour not only that there were metal curtains that hang down from drums to the seabed forming an iron curtain beneath the sea surface. The purpose of which is to stop submarine from sneaking through.
I have just uploaded two photographs sent to me soon after the 75th anniversary of VJ Day by a cousin of mine. Her father, Air Commodore Gilbert Bartholomew the original owner of both photographs, was present at the ceremony, representing the Royal Air Force.
Does anyone have information about the minstrel shows that were put on by the folks in the Stanley and Sham Shui Po Camps during World War II?
Stanley seems to have held at least two minstrel shows:
