The structure was built in 1910 as soldiers' quarters for the men of the Royal Artillery who manned the Central and West Batteries. On the night of 18 December 1941, Japanese troops successfully crossed the Lei Yue Mun Channel from Devil's Peak and were engaged in fierce fighting with the defenders in this building. After stubborn resistance, the defenders, overwhelmed by superior numbers and firepower, were forced to retreat.

Here you see some impressions taken from an old, ruinous house in prerow. I like it to play with those morbide structures ...

You could walk kilometres along a deserted sandy beach. Since I discovered this sand structures.
Man konnte kilometerweit am menschenleeren Sandstrand wandern. Da entdeckte ich diese Strukturen.
The town centre in Harlow is changing so parts of the original new town are being demolished. I personally find it sad to see when adaptation of the original structures in my mind would make the town more attractive. Still that's life but it's fun to catalogue these building while they still exist.

Taken from the cheap seats. Beyond its proscenium and colonnade stretches a landscape of scattered olive (Olea europaea) groves, low ridges, and wide valleys.
The towerlike structure in the nearest stand of olive trees is the famous Numidian Mausoleum of Ateban, constructed in the second century BC. Next to it eventually rose the Africo-Roman provincial town that today is reputedly the best preserved site of that era in North Africa. But its origins lie much farther back, centuries before the Romans held sway here.
The stone most commonly used in the theater and Dougga's other structures is Eocene nummulitic limestone, locally quarried, of the El Garia Formation.
Dougga lies in Tunisia's Diapir Zone, where domelike or mushroom-shaped bodies of salt and other Triassic evaporites have pushed their way up to the surface to contort younger, overlying strata.
