DELICATE REMOVAL JOB BY HK POLICE

A grim reminder of the Japanese attack on Hongkong 13 years ago came to light last night when workmen engaged in excavating a hill in North Point came across a live 375-pound Japanese armour-piercing shell buried deep in the red clay.

The workers, engaged in levelling the hill near Cheung Hong Street, opposite the Empire Theatre, unearthed a small portion of the shell and lost no time in telling the Bay View Police Station.

A party of Police and the Police Ballistics Officer, Mr F. A. Ewins, rushed to the scene. After a preliminary examination Mr Ewins decided to remove the shell this morning.

At about 8.30 a.m. today to roll the misle down the bank the delicate operation began. In stages, each time stopping It Sub-Insp. J. P. MacMahon
