I had just finished reading Captain Harry Penn's war diary for No. 1 Coy, HKVDC, which is held at the National Archives in Kew, England. The diary vividly describes the attack on the Coy's positions at PB 45 and Sanatorium Gap by Japanese troops who landed on the north shore of the Island during the night of 18/19th December 1941. The 230th Infantry Regiment, commanded by Colonel Shoji, landed at North Point and after overrunning 'D' Coy, 7th Rajputs, and after establishing a Regimental HQ at Braemar Reservoir, proceeded along Sir Cecil's Ride, in an anti-clockwise direction around Jardines Lookout, to WNC Gap. The 229th Infantry Regiment, commanded by Colonel Tanaka, landed at Lye Mun and Aldrich Bay. One battalion attacked Lye Mun barracks, the Park Sha Wan Battery and the AA Fort on Sai Wan Hill. The other battalion moved straight up the north face of Mount Parker, intercepting a level contour path which they followed in an anti-clockwise direction around the northern slopes of Mount Parker emerging on to Mount Parker Road just below PB 45. It was units from the 229th that overran PB 45 and proceeded up to the Gap, and after overcoming the defences at Sanatorium Gap they continued up to the summit of Mount Parker which was their battalion's first objective. The 228th Infantry Regiment, commanded by Colonel Doi, were held up by the Rajput defenders at Tai Koo. Lt-Col Cadogan-Rawlinson, the 5th/7th Battalion commander, had established his Bn HQ at Tai Too Police Station. It was not until the early hours of Friday 19th that Doi's battalions could proceed inland, one going up Mount Parker Road and the other up Braemar Hill and Siu Ma Shan. All three regiments, each utilising two of their three battalions, converged on WNC Gap.
With all this fresh in my mind, and having just returned to Hong Kong, I decided to walk that route and to look at the positions at Sanatorium Gap referred to in the War Diary. Read on and join me on this walk through history.

It was called Sanatorium Gap, because a TB hospital known as Taikoo Sanatorium was built there by Butterfield & Swire, the owners of Taikoo Sugar Refinery and Taikoo Dockyards, both of which were situated on the north shore of the island immediately below the gap. Geoff Douglass advised me that it was also once used as summer accommodation for expat staff of Taikoo Dockyards and Taikoo Sugar Refinery. At one stage a ropeway/cable car system provided access from Taikoo to the gap. The Sanatorium was built in the 1890s and was demolished in the 1930s before World War 2.
The photograph below from 'Historical Photographs of China (Warren Swire Collection)' shows the Taikoo Sanatorium. In the background you can see the treeless slopes of Mt Parker, today this whole area is now heavily reforested. The path in the foreground is the start of the southern portion of Mount Parker Road where it leaves the gap and heads down to the reservoirs at Gauge Basin.

A slightly earlier photograph, from the Hong Kong Museum of History, shows the same building from the opposite direction, with the bare summit of Mt Butler as a back drop. In the later photograph you can see the centre section of the building has been added. Today the site of the building is a sitting-out and picnic area and in places you can still make out the ramparts of the original sanatorium's foundations. The army referred to it as 'San Gap.' On the night of 18th December it was defended by No. 1 Platoon of No. 1 Coy, HKVDC. No. 1 Coy was commanded by forty-two-year-old Captain Arthur Harry Penn known as 'Harry' who in civilian life had been manager of a shipping company in Hong Kong.

Captain Harry Penn's Coy consisted of a Bren Gun Carrier Platoon (No. 3 Pl) commanded by 2/Lt Edwards, stationed at Windy Gap near D'Aguilar Peak to protect the Shek-O area; No. 1 Platoon commanded by 2/Lt Carter defending Sanatorium Gap (these days referred to as Quarry Gap) and No. 2 Platoon commanded by 2/Lt Redman defending a low saddle to the north east of Repulse Bay then known as Repulse Bay View (now referred to Repulse Bay Gap). The Coy HQ was based initially at the PWD shelters in Gauge Basin, and later at the nearby Taitam Bungalow.

The night of 18th December was dark and the shore line below Sanatorium Gap was blanketed with thick black smoke emanating from burning fuel storage tanks at North Point which had been hit by shell fire. There had been very heavy shelling on this stretch of the shore line. Under the cover of darkness and billowing smoke the Japanese invaded the Island of Hong Kong. They landed on a front which stretched from North Point to Shau Kei Wan. Defending the North Shore was the 5th battalion of the 7th Rajput Regiment commanded by Lt-Col Cadogan-Rawlinson. After fierce fighting the Rajputs were overran and the Japanese troops moved swiftly inland. No. 1 Platoon was deployed defending PB 45 and the gap itself - roughly 25 men standing in the way of two battalions from two different regiments of the Japanese army.
It was Monday 3rd November 2014, seventy three years after these events occurred that I got off the MTR (Mass Transit Railway) at Quarry Bay station and walked down Kings Road to the junction of Mt Parker Road (referred to as the Taikoo Path in 1941). Its a metal road but closed off to vehicles. After climbing some way up the road I reached Woodside a pre-war red-brick building that was originally two buildings and was used as family accommodation for the senior managers of Taikoo Sugar Refinery which was situated just below.

Continuing up the road I passed a small service reservoir - again I'm not sure if this existed pre-war. A little further up the road I passed a WW2 looking pump house.
 |

Then a little further up, and looking down the valley beside the road, I had a surprise. Hidden in the undergrowth was a ruined WW2 splinter proof toilet - with all the shelling going on it must have been some comfort to have such protection when attending the call of nature.

The War Diary for No. 1 Coy HKVDC makes references to there being two shelters and to PB 45 being at the junction of Sir Cecil's Ride and Taikoo Path
"There were two shelters and only the upper one was manned."
Could this be the second shelter referred to in the diary - I think very likely, but of PB 45 there was no sign - so possibly demolished, but why bother to demolish it. I found no sign of it, and others history enthusiasts have searched for it over the years. It is also possible that it was not a concrete structure, but more of an alternative position consisting of weapons pits and sandbagged emplacements for the two MMGs (Vickers) at this location.

| The road up to Mt Parker and the track to Boa Vista on the right (Writers Collection) |
No. 1 Platoon had been expecting reinforcements on the night of the landings in the form of a platoon from the Royal Rifles of Canada. This platoon was based on top of a feature called Boa Vista. They should have arrived along the path shown above. An NCO and two ORs (Other Ranks) were sent out from No. 1 Platoon to meet them along the path and act as guides to conduct them to the HKVDC positions at Sanatorium Gap. However by the time the Canadian platoon reached the gap it had been overrun. The Canadians then continued up Mt Parker unaware that the Japanese troops that had overrun the gap had already proceeded up to the summit of Mt Parker.
"The attack on Sanatorium Gap was over when our guides finally did connect with them. Had they reinforced us before the attack developed there would have been a reasonable prospect of holding the gap until daylight."
 |
| Sanatorium Gap today with the slopes of Mt Butler in the background (Writers Collection) |
Captain Penn had positioned an LMG section on the lower slopes of Mt Butler to guard the left flank. This position was attacked by Japanese soldiers who stealthily climbed the steep northern slope of Mt Butler from a position on Taikoo Path below the Gap. They got close enough to make a rush on the LMG position.
"There was only one survivor who was wounded and taken prisoner that night. The Sgt. and four ORs being killed on Mt Butler and one OR subsequently killed at Stanley. From this survivor I gather that they had barely got into position on Mt Butler. They were rushed almost without warning by a number of the enemy and wiped out in hand to hand fighting - mostly bayoneted. They did just get their gun into action and the survivor thinks they did inflict some casualties."
Shortly after the LMG section were overran on Mt Butler the Japanese assaulted the gap.
"Just before 0100 three members of PB 45 Section came back to our position up the Taikoo Path two of them wounded. They reported the position had been attacked and overrun and they thought the enemy were close on their heels. I was positioned approximately in the centre of the Gap with two Rajput ORs whom I had positioned one on either side of me. On my left
was the main path with the LMG team, 2/Lt Carter a few yards behind it with three
or four of our own men. The two European Police and one or two Indians extended
from the path in a line up the lower slopes of Mt Butler for 15-20 yards. On my right were the two MMGs and the rest of
the force were extended in suitable firing positions as riflemen, with three
men watching our rear flanks.
………….. a
party was heard in front and a challenge
brought no prompt answer and then a few
unintelligible words. Someone on my left I think 2/Lt Carter
shouted “Who the hell are you – answer or we fire”. The party appeared
to be 50 or 75 yards in front on the main path. There were a few seconds of
hesitation and then fire was opened by the LMG section and this was immediately
taken up generally from our positions.
After
probably some ten minutes, the enemy opened up with an LMG and more intense
rifle fire. Simultaneously there developed a string of chattering or gabbled
orders from the path a short distance ahead but I formed the opinion that the
main attack was being developed up the valley to the right of the path and
warned the MMG sec to this effect. The intensification
of enemy fire was apparently covering fire for a closer attack as a few minutes
later all our positions were subjected to a heavy hand grenade attack from
close quarters. The party making this attack had come up the bed of the valley
and the grass-cutters path leading to our LMG positions and had got to within a
few yards unobserved (I feel sure they were operating with guides who knew the
ground perfectly - certain members of the
platoon, both on PB 45 and San Gap
positions, state that they saw differently dressed persons in the van of the
attack). Fortunately many of the grenades proved to be duds or non-effective,
otherwise this grenade shower would have inflicted heavier casualties than was
the case. The LMG and two MMGs were in
continuous action all this time although handicapped by their inability to pick
out specific targets [because of absence of very pistols]. The grenade bombardment was immediately followed by an
attempted rush on the centre of the gap (my own immediate front) by a very
small party of the enemy, but which was unsuccessful. At the same time a rush
was made up the main path and the grass cutters path upon our LMG at the
junction of these two paths. The LMG was kept firing by the No 1 until he and his No 2 were overran; one being
bayoneted and the other shot at point blank range.
2/Lt
Carter with those that remained of the party
with him, on my left, took toll of this rush – one of the European
Police and the Indians had slipped away
earlier. At this stage I was dazed or
very temporarily unconscious from a
crack on my helmet from a grenade which
burst immediately in front. On beginning
to see things again a few seconds later, one of the two Rajputs with me
was dead and the other had disappeared. An orange red flare (presumably a success signal) suddenly flared up on the site of the LMG position and in the
light of this a small party of the enemy
were gathered at the path junction, and were wiped out with fire from my
own and 2/Lt Carter’s position. Our MMG section were now silent except for
scattered rifle fire and I imagine that with the over running of the LMG, the enemy thought they had overcome effective opposition and consequently lit
their success signal, as the wiping out of that party was followed by a lull
for around 10 minutes.
From
subsequent comparisons with 2/Lt Carter it appears that of his party only
himself and one European Police Sgt were left and they made their way round to
the MMG Section to find out the position there and the reason for the cessation of
fire – passing to my left and behind me. I remained in my own position unaware
that 2/Lt Carter’s position [had been vacated] and expecting any further enemy
rush would again be met with fire from them and the MMG section. It transpires that
having made his way round to the MMG Section, the Police Sgt disappeared and 2/Lt
Carter found the Section Commander (Sgt Murphy) and three members of the section left –
two of them wounded and pulling their guns out. The section commander had concluded that
the rest of our defence was wiped out and decided that with the inadequate gun
teams, he could not remain effectively in action and he would pull his guns
out.
2/Lt
Carter concurred in the decision to
withdraw, his main thought being to get word to the HKSRA Batteries at Tytam,
as he was of the opinion that the enemy had penetrated over the slopes of
Butler and Mt Parker. The party consisting of 2/Lt Carter and four ORs (convinced
that they were the only survivors) made their way along the Boa Vista path and
thence down the Taitam Path.
Meanwhile
I was waiting unaware of these developments, in my original position until the “lull” referred to earlier was
broken by a sudden rush of a number of the enemy (probably 12 to 18) from the
path on my left front, immediately past and behind me to the shelters. For the
reasons stated there was no fire from our positions and I personally “lay
doggo” and was passed unnoticed. Within a few minutes I was able to make my way
unobserved across the few yards back to the head of the path down to Taitam. The
enemy party which broke across the gap, seemed to make their way across our
shelters and up the slopes of Mt Parker."

The path running south from the gap was the main extrication route. The photo above was taken from the top of the path near the gap facing south, with the slopes of Mt Cameron to the right (west) and looking down towards the first bend which is a sharp hairpin bend as seen in the photo below. It was down this path no doubt close to the hairpin bend (below) that Captain Pen withdrew to make his appreciation.
 |
| The first bend - about 75 yards below the Gap (Writers Collection) |
"About 30 yards down the Taitam Path I connected up with my MC [motor cycle] orderly and a wounded member of the platoon and shortly afterwards another of our ORs joined us from over the right shoulder of Butler. The wounded man was sent on down and ordered to hurry the CSM’s HQ party whilst I decided to wait where we were and await the arrival of the CSM’s party. At this stage I also thought that our small party represented the sole survivors. We waited there for some 15 minutes during which time the enemy could be heard round the corner in the gap and above us on Butler and as there was still no sign of the HQ party I decided to continue on down the path until we met them and then consider some plan of utilizing them in retaking the gap."
It turned out that the CSM's party had left for the gap but on the way up had been told by Indian (Rajput) stragglers from the fighting on the North Shore that the position at the gap had been over-run. The CSM decided therefore to fall back to Coy HQ at the Taitam Bungalow and to hold that position. Captain Penn later connected with 2/Lt Carter and his party who had extricated down the Boa Vista Path.
Just about the time I did this walk the telephone exchange or field telephone was found at Taitam Bungalow by military history enthusiast Dave Willott - it had been discarded down a slope and is shown in the photograph below only the phone (ear and mouth piece) was missing from its cradle. The set was made from bakelite an early form of plastic which explains why it looks in such good condition after all these years.

| A look inside - it would be hard to make a call now ! (Courtesy: Dave Willott) |
"We then destroyed our telephone communication and immediately afterwards a runner (L/Cpl. Gaubert) came up from our positions around the HKSRA Bty. with a message from the CSM that all troops were ordered to Stanley as soon as possible. I ordered all weapons and equipment to be loaded into our transport and troops then to on-truck."
Back to the future and I'm walking down the same path that Captain Penn had withdrawn down from the gap with what was left of No. 1 platoon and the pressed defenders from other units (including police and Rajputs). Further down the path I came to a junction of two paths which must have been where Captain Penn met up with 2/Lt Carter's party. One path leading off to the left and uphill. At this junction there was access through a flight of steps to a hill top overlooking the upper reservoir. I passed a large man-made cave with tunnels leading off right and left.

The slope bhind the tunnel is steep and leads to a military shelter on or rather close to the summit.

| A WW2 military splinter proof shelter on the hilltop (Writers Collection) |
A number of Japanese spent rifle rounds were found on the slope leading to the shelter. Presumably these were fired on 19th December when the Japanese were infiltrating into Gauge Basin. Whether, or not, this hilltop shelter was manned I don't know. The shelter would have housed a section and having a prominent command over the reservoirs may well have been defended by an MMG team.
A look inside the pillbox (see below) showed the usual hooks by the door (wall to left of door) presumably for hanging coats and helmets etc and rather large fittings on the wall to right of door which would have been used as makeshift bunks. I believe the beds that hooked on to these latches could be unshipped and used as stretchers. A shelter like this could accommodate a section of some six to nine men. There is a ventilation shaft in the roof and the door and window shutters were made from steel which would stop bullets or bomb splinters.

There's a good view from the crest of the hill looking directly down on the dam across the reservoir and the knoll on which Gauge Basin 3.7-inch howitzer battery was located.
 |

I crossed the dam shown in the photograph above and followed the path round to the left which leads down towards the Taitam X-Roads. Another path leads up to what is now Park View, but was then known as Stanley Gap Road and led from Gauge Basin to Wong Nei Chung Gap.
Having turned left at the dam, after a while the path splits in two - one being Mt Parker Road - the other being Taitam Reservoir Road, but they join together further down. I chose Taitam Reservoir Road as it seemed the one that was most commonly used and the more natural route. I passed on my right a rather ugly looking military structure that I have passed many times before. It is in a rather exposed place which is now a barbecue area. It was not a PB as there was no observation tower or firing apertures. It may have been camouflaged with netting and foliage back in WW2.
 |
| A military structure in Guage Basin now part of a barbecue area (Writers Collection) |
There were two ventilation shafts and an unusually wide door and window which had been sealed up. The window would have had heavy steel shutters and the door would have been made steel. I wondered what it was. It may have been an Advanced Dressing Station (ADS) or perhaps kitchen shelters.
 |
| The military structure had a rather wide door and window which had been concreted up (Writers Collection) |
As I walked down the road I was glancing up the hillside to my left when I saw what I thought was a structure. Straight lines, but it was hard to see through the foliage. I clambered up the slope and found to my surprise a military structure that I never knew existed. Here it is below:
 |
| I stumbled across this military structure on a knoll beside the path (Writers Collection) |
It had three ventilation shafts and as I walked round to the front I found out why. It was what soldiers call the "shit house" ! It was a bomb proof toilet.
 |

Where there is a military toilet there must be other structures, so I fought my way through the undergrowth to the crest of the hill, which lies between Mt Parker Road on the left and Tai Tam Reservoir Road on the right. I soon came across several small concrete structures which were ammunition lockers and are seen at battery sites near the gun pits.

 |
| Mimi Lau breeze blocks such as these were much used in WW2 |
Breeze blocks with hollow centers known in 1941 as "Mimi Lau" (for explanation see my blog on Wing Commander Steele-Perkins and the ARP scandal) had been used to make retaining walls around a flat concrete base which would have been a gun position. At the crest there was a military shelter but somebody had put a screen across the window. It looked like somebody had been living in it.
 |
| A green screen placed across the window of the structure (Writers Collection) |
What sort of person would live in a WW2 shelter like this ? I pulled aside the green mesh screen and peered into the interior, it looked like a hammock had been strung up and there was something on it - or was it somebody. I had that sense of trespass like I was intruding on someone else's domain and anyway discretion took the better part of valour and I decided not to go inside. I then somewhat stumbled on a flight of steps which led down a short distance to Mt Parker Road and strung out either side of the steps were not one but a whole string of military shelters.

These shelters given the number of structures would have been occupied by a Coy or a Battery. Rob Weir an expert on Fixed Defences advised me that this was a Hong Kong Singapore-Royal Artillery (HKS-RA) battery known as Taitam Fork Bty and they had one 3.7 inch Howitzer. They originally had two howitzers but one had been moved up to Lye Mun Barracks to shell Japanese positions on Devil's Peak. This gun commanded by Captain Bompas had been overrun and captured when the Japanese attacked the barracks following their landings on 18th December. The remaining gun at Tai Tam Fork Battery was brought back to Stanley on 19th December. The following week I went back with a metal detector and picked up a brass shoulder flash with the words S-RA (the HK being broken off). See the photograph below.
I carried on down the road to the lower reservoir. The photograph below shows the road and the summit of Bridge Hill in the background. On 21st December Brigadier Wallis commanding East Infantry Brigade launched a battalion level counter offensive made up of Royal Rifles of Canada and No 1 Coy HKDVDC. These units moved out at dawn from their positions at Palm Villa their first objective was to seize the Tai Tam X-Roads and then turn left up this very road leading into Gauge Basin, also known as Tai Tam Valley, and to drive up past the reservoirs and re-take Wong Nei Chung Gap. This was a bold move but never really stood a chance as the Japanese were now on the Island in huge numbers. The attack had no artillery and insufficient mortar support.

This counter attack failed. They had managed to seize the high ground on the left, Notting Hill and Bridge Hill and they had been able to get right up to the X-Roads, but they had not been able to clear the Japanese from Red Hill on the right flank. Heavy casualties were incurred and Captain Harry Penn was shot in the face whilst trying to clear Red Hill of Japanese troops.
|
As I walked towards the X-Roads I passed a group of sealed up military shelters (Bridge Hill Shelters). These shelters had been concreted up and the area in front of them had been converted into a picnic area. It was here that Lt-Col Cadogan-Rawlinson telephoned Brigadier Wallis after he had extricated from the North Shore with his Battle HQ personnel and a few stragglers picked up along the way. He was ordered to defend the X-Roads and the dam until Wallis could complete the evacuation of his infantry Brigade back to the Stanley Perimeter to avoid being cut off by the Japanese advance.

The Tai Tam X-Roads shown above was the end of my walk. After the failed counter attack on 21st December the X-Roads remained in enemy hands. Captain Penn was taken to St. Stephens Temporary Hospital in the grounds of St Stephen's College. He discharged himself on 24th December, which was just as well as the following the day the Japanese broke into the hospital and bayoneted patients in their beds. Captain Penn was repatriated to England in December 1945 returning to Hong Kong in 1946 to resume his job with the Bank Line, a shipping company he had worked for before the war. He passed away in April 1972 at the age of 73. I am in regular contact with his son John Penn who has been a great help to me in conducting research into WW2 in Hong Kong.
