When I saw this bunker earlier today I was scolding myself for how the devil could I miss this one in my previous walks in the area..... The one is right besides the information post.

These look similar to those I just found in Pok Fu Lam Reservoir we were talking about, but appear to be grouped in a closer proximity of a complex appearance. Also forward dressing stations?

Hi There,

This is just one of the groups of Forward Dressing Stations.  If you look left towards the wooden pavilion at this location, you should find an opening to its left.  There is another group of these right there.  Two or three by the left, and another right at the end, over the fence.  

There is another one along the service road a bit further North.  Another one further along the Lady Clementi's Ride, and another above Tin Wan Estate.

On the other hand, there are two pillboxes along Lady Clementi's Ride.

Thanks for the info. I guess it really paints a good picture of the defense strategy on a smaller tactical level.

Regards
