Victoria Barracks

Hi All, and David, our host,

Does anyone know if there is a reasonably legoble map of Victoria Barracks around, preferably dating from the 1970s?

 

Thanks,

Bob

The army in Hong Kong.

Seeing the recent photograph of the gunners in Hong Kong 1911 prompts me to post a similar picture taken in 1917 of the Army Ordnance Department. I have no idea where the photo was taken nor any further details.

The chap in shorts is my great grandfather who, on retiring from the army, returned to Hong Kong and served as secretary of the Hong Kong Club from 1923 for about 10 years.
