It reads:

Colonial post boxes are among the "historical street relics" of Hong Kong. They not only witnessed the developments of the colonial period but are also a part of the collective memory of Hong Kong residents. Six sovereigns were on the throne during the colonial period of Hong Kong. But one of them, Edward VIII, reigned for less than a year, so no post boxes bearing his imprimatur were shipped to Hong Kong, thus only five types of royal cyphers are to be found on these post boxes.

The pillbox consists of two compartments separated by a small tunnel - one with the main gun platform and the other with two firing/observation loopholes.

I don't know what sort of gun would need such a big swiveling platform, the type 92 maybe.
