Entrance to the Battle Box
Top photo. As noted here , the structure in front of the HQ Land Forces Building may be the entrance to the Battle Box.
British Forces Headquarters Building, Victoria Barracks [????-??
I recall that building in the early 1980s. I think it would be located more or less where the fountain entrance to the eastern side of Hong Kong Park is now located. It backed on to the slope behind it. In the early 1980s it was used as the offices of the Commercial Crime Bureau of the RHKP. I used to visit a friend who worked in there as I walked home to Kennedy Road.
It was vacant by 1983-84, and was used for counter-terrorist exercises before it was demolished.
