Re: Hong Kong, street scene near air raid shelters
From information previously provided by Raymond Lo, the film "You'll find out" was shown at the Cathay Theatre on 7 - 8 September, 1941. This matches the completion date of the Arsenal St ARP shelters in August 1941.
A post WWII photo of the pillbox can be seen here
