Hello,
Found this down the hillside on the peak. Would Mr Holmes or someone in his family like it back ? :)
This one should be a bit newer than the RN Canteen bottle you found, as "Mount Austin Road" only came into use in 1960 - see https://gwulo.com/comment/28050#comment-28050
Thanks David,
Hadn't realised that so many of the road names at the peak had been changed. B
John Holmes was head of Dodwell & Co Ltd in Hong Kong in the 1980's.
Thank you for that. Hadn't heard the name Dodwells since the 80s!
