This image is very similar to http://gwulo.com/atom/19005, likely to be taken a few moments earlier or later.

On both images the same person in uniform is shown, but here the name given is Cmdr. Peter MacRitchie of HMCS Prince Robert, where on "19005" its Lieutenant-Commander Fred Day.

Help to save Pillbox 16 & 17!

Please take a moment to consider signing this petition to save some Hong Kong WWII history. 

The link below is to a petition addressed to the LCSD to save Pillbox 16 & 17 near and on Repulse Bay. My reasons for choosing these two pillboxes specifically is because they are in areas where there are a lot of tourists, and are easily accessible for a large number of people, so it makes sense for the LCSD to invest a small amount of money into them to keep them alive as educational pieces for the Hong Kong public.
