Does anyone have an idea where this chicken farm was located in Hong Kong? I have a few photos that were taken there and it seems to be a place that was treated as an attraction in some ways. I have photos of family members taken in front of a chicken coop with the number 5 on it. Everyone seemed want to be photographed showing the chicken coops?

The invasion of Hong Kong could hardly have been a surprise as the UK’s Daily Herald newspaper was quoting headlines to that effect in July 1940.

By October 1940 the British air route by its flagship Imperial Airways to the outside world had been permanently cut by Japanese incursions into Indo-China. The all-important mails, plus passengers could no longer get through by this route.
