Hi Rob, Thanks for your info on the Machine Gun Posts. David previously took the pic at https://gwulo.com/atom/11714 of the concrete hut behind this Post. I'm not aware of similar huts at any of the other existing machine gun posts, but this hut does look vaguely military in nature and no other function is apparent for it. Do you know whether the hut formed part of the machine gun post?

There is also another hut (made of bricks) on the opposite side of the mills and chung path, further down towards ocean park.

No idea, sorry. I had presumed it was part of Stanley Village around 1936, but no evidence. Don't have any evidence of huts at other positions either. My information on MG Posts is pretty limited so far.
