Brief
Introduction
When
the Pacific War broke out in December
1941, Hong Kong had already been fortified
for a century since the arrival of
British in 1841. Batteries, redoubts,
pillboxes, observation posts, tunnels,
trenches, shelters, and bunkers were
built extensively. Many of these relics
of war, once a matter of life and death
for many of their occupiers, were quietly
disappearing in Hong Kong's countryside.
