Christmas Bazaar at Royal HK regiment HQ around sport rd and morrisson hill?

When I was a kid living in HK on Queen's Road East close to the army barricade on sports road, I enjoyed very much going each year to the Christmas Bazaar when the militrary facility was open to the public.  I was particularly fond of riding the mules. Today I am trying to write some memoir of my childhood.  I ask if anyone has some photos of the Christmas bazaar so I can show to my friends here in Canada.

I've used the date they built a permanent building, according to the club's website. Apparently the building was bombed during the war and demolished by the Japanese, who used the grounds to shape the granite blocks for the war memorial near mt Cameron.
