This picture shows the "Drawing of the Anti-aircraft gun at the Stable in Tsim Sha Tsui and the Imperial Navy Ammunition Department" . It mentions the barracks of the Indian garrison, which was in fact Whitfield Barracks located in present-day Kowloon Park, Tsim Sha Tsui. The intelligence officer provided detailed information on the gun emplacements, two connecting caves built by the Japanese, the location of the quarters (in terms of the distance from the gun locations) and the number of soldiers on guard, suggesting that the intelligence was the fruit of extensive research. Furthermore, the report mentions that the barracks were equipped with anti-aircraft guns camouflaged under leaves and trees so as to alert Allied fighter pilots to be cautious during air raids to avoid return fire from the Japanese.
