HT Wong is hosting this nice pic entitled "1920s Peak View". I guess it was taken from somewhere around the old weather station and looks back towards Mount Kellett - the triangular summit in the top right corner.

The buildings nearest the camera are:

1. Bahar Lodge - bottom left.

2. Ewo Mess - immediately above, i.e. downhill, from 1.

3. Edgehill - seen only as a white roof to the right and further downhill from 2.

4. Mount Austin Barracks - the huge building in the middle of the pic.

5. Haystack - the building between 4 and the camera.

This is a newspaper article dated April1935 about my grandfather WJ Carrie. Having read the publicity regarding Barbara Anslow (nee Redwood)'s new book Tin Hats and Rice "A Diary of Life as a Hong Kong Prisoner of War" I contacted Barbara to see if she remembered my grandfather and to let her know that I have his own wartime diary that he started on 08/12/1941 when Hong Kong Island was first shelled by the Japanese. I am happy to say she instantly remembered him from their days in Stanley Internment Camp.
