 Whilst in UK for Christmas I've found at my parents house in UK a copy of G.A.Henty's 'With the Alllies to Pekin.' sic
Published 1904 by Blackie & Son, London

 Subtitled 'A Story of the Relief of the Legations' - seems to be a first edition.Illustrated.'Basil Guy RanS Back and Bound Up His Wounds' &c 

Anybody know anyone or any organisation that might be interested in such?

I'm collecting ideas for sites of interests to include in a map of Pokfulam (Mt Davis down to Tin Wan, west of Hong Kong Trail). Your suggestions with links/references would be much appreciated.

As a start I can use the AMO/AAB list to find sites. Next (any easy reference?) I can add military relics. .. your suggestions are most welcome.
