ARP Tunnels Still Accessible?

From what has been talked about on this site, It seems that all of the ARP tunnels are no longer accessible right?

Well. HK URBEX just published this video of inside ARP tunnels.

The only hint they gave is that it is 'near a large urban populous', so I assume it is either near leighton road/star street ARP tunnels, or in Kowloon.

Any ideas?

Eligibility for UK Awards, Decorations and Honours including medals for WW2 Veterans and ARP

Good afternoon (Canberra time) David,

In researching material for a publication on Australian citizens that fought on behalf of the Allies against the Japanese in WW2 in mainland China and SE Asia including HK, I had difficulty finding any reference to the eligibility criteria for awards, decorations, honours and medals particularly relating to the gallant men and women in their role as defenders in the defence HK during WW2.

Any guesses where this was located?

And are we looking at a trench shelter like the one in Southorn Playground, or something simpler like an Anderson shelter?
