Maybe the barracks on the left?

I tend to agree with Philk that the photo is of Haiphong Road taken from Canton Road. The pillar on the left I believe is still standing and Whitfield Barracks is on the left. At the base of the pillar is a War Department Boundary Stone similar to the one shown here

Here's a view of the gateposts today.

WDBS and blocked up gateway on Haiphong Road

The right pillar is complete, but the one on the left only has the base remaining. And at some point the opening between the pillars has been filled in. The pointed boundary stone is still there though, just visible below the red backpack.
