On the 5th November, 1910, two newly arrived
Sappers of the 25th Company, Royal Engineers, were
sent out to join a detachment then working on the
preparation of gun mountings on Mount Davis. They
&
madejcertain statements to their Divisional officer,
a copy of whose report with the recorded atatements
of the two Sappers is attached.
From this it will be seen that on the 5th
November, 1910, a certain German Mr Heerman, son of
the manager (Possibly partner) of the firm of Gaupp
and Co. a well known firm of opticians and chart
sellers of long standing in Hongkong, was in possession
of a large scale plan of the Mount Davis Defences
at the Western entrance of the Harbour, and possibly
also of a plan of Devil's Peak Defences at the
Eastern entrance. It is curious that he should have
openly shown the former plan to the two soldiers.
I would here remark that owing to the
