| The "Drawing of the Anti-aircraft Gun of No. 2 Work Department of the Imperial Navy" is on display at the "British Army Aid Group Drawings" exhibition. This drawing shows the No. 2 Work Department of the Japanese Imperial Navy, the site of the Royal Naval Dockyard before the fall of Hong Kong. It continued to serve as an important military base during the Japanese occupation. The Japanese forces set up anti-aircraft guns and gun emplacements to control the airspace above the No. 2 Work Department of the Imperial Navy. In 1944 and 1945, Allied fighter jets carried out a number of air raids on the northern part of Hong Kong Island, but mistakenly bombed civilian residences in Wan Chai to the east, causing terrible damage and heavy casualties. |
