A.P.I.L 70 Marker Stone [????- ]

Hi there,

There are two adjacent stones here.  One with A.P.I.L 70 clearly visible above the ground, the other only has the A.P.I.L engraving visible.

There is another A.P.I.L 70 stone just a few steps away.

Best Regards,

23 Marker Stone close to #7 Peel Rise [????- ]

Hi there,

I went up the Peel Rise on Saturday (29th Aug 2009) trying to locate the two stones.  I found them.  However when I pressed onward towards the peak I came across this stone.  If you go up hill, it would be on your left hand side just about 30 metres before you reach #7 Peel Rise.

29 Marker Stone [????- ]

Hi there,

I went along the Lady Clementi's Ride earlier today and spotted this stone at a 4-way junction on the eastern side of the Aberdeen Reservoir.  The stone had been lying on it's sides and part of it is burried.  The number 29 was engraved topside, as well as one one of the sides.

Even with proper tools working on this one to confirm the engraving is going to be tricky as it is lying on a slope.  One goof and it will slide or roll down.

WWII bunkers in the Aberdeen Reservoir Area [????- ]

Hi there,

This one is well hidden.  You have to past the very last bunker by the left, then look for it towards the hill side.  It is just abo8ut 20 feets away from the fence.  It's location is about on the opposite side of the bunker facing Aberdeen Reservoir Road.  I suspect these two are linked up back to back, but there is no way to confirm it without breaking into one of them.

Best Regards,

Marker Stone A.I.L. 78, Aberdeen Chinese Cemetry [1915- ]

Possible WWII storage hut [????- ]

Note: the GPS reading is not as accurate as I thought at this spot as the location was between two ridges.  Have to go there again for some visual survey to get it right later.
