World War Two Air Raid Precaution Tunnel / Shelter

Submitted by Zenning on

Hi there,

What an amazing archive of historic HK on this website!

I was browsing the topic on air-raid precaution tunnels - again, amazed at the wealth of information - though I didn't see the one-and-only I knew when I was in HK, the one on Wong Nai Chung Road, along the huge stone wall next to St. Pauls Primary School? (At the foot of St. Paul's Secondary School). Is that an air-raid shelter of sort? Anyone knows anything about it?

Best,

Zenning

Captain Charles Elliot

Submitted by Wales1000 on

I have just acquired a book presented by Captain Elliot to an Adam (unreadable) dated 14August1841. It contains a plate from the Macao Book Society - which has a list of 13 members names hand written on the plate which serves as a lending record - lent / returned. The names are hard to read - Elliot is one - others appear to include Vachelle, Layton, Stewart, Allforth

I would be interested in hearing any views on the book society and timing of the gift given this was about the period Elliot was dismissed.
