Pillbox near Wanchai Gap [1940- ]

Tim Ko's 'War Relics in the Green, ISBN: 962 993 295 4' has a section 'Wanchai Gap and Lady Clementi's Ride'. The map on that page shows three pillboxes. T has already added the one by the dam, and the one to the East of the reservoir. Here's the third.

If you walk down Aberdeen Reservoir Road from Wanchai Gap, a short way down a clear trail leads off to the left. The trail goes straight for a short distance, before u-turning back to the left. From memory, the Pillbox is on that bend.

This pillbox is shown as 'PB3' on a hand drawn map included in the War Diary of Major E.G. Stewart. I'm not sure if 'PB3' was the 'official' reference for the pillbox or just his personal numbering system, as there was another Pillbox number 3 on the Western shore of HK island, between Sandy Bay and Telegraph Bay.
