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!
