This map of Shamshuipo POW camp was drawn by D W Morley, one of the group of four who escaped from the camp in January 1942. The map also shows the initial route they took.

The original is held in the UK National Archives, their reference ADM 199/357, document 10364.

For more on the escape, see L T Ride's report.

There are other maps from the same time, but all are slightly different.

Map showing Southern end of Anderson Road, circa late 1960s. Part of this road has since been incorporated into Wilson Trail Sec. 3 and Ko Chiu Road leading to TKO Chinese Permanent Cemetary.

Haven't seen much info about this here or online elsewhere so I figured I should post it up in case someone wants to look into it.
