A Short Guide to World War II Pillboxes in Hong Kong

This small book is a descriptive guide for accessing the surviving pillboxes (PBs) in Hong Kong's New Territories along the Gin Drinker's Line (GDL) and in the Northeastern New Territories (NENT). These PBs testify to the international conflict and local resistance that occurred in the city's past. Based on oral histories, these PBs were built by New Territories villagers and, hence, have a special local connection.This small book is a descriptive guide for accessing the surviving pillboxes (PBs) in Hong Kong's New Territories along the Gin Drinker's Line (GDL) and in the Northeastern New Territories (NENT).
