WAR OFFICE, 187234 May 16 382

A report has however in the mean time been received from the General Officer Commanding, Hong Kong.

The text has been formatted into paragraphs and minor corrections were made to make the text more readable while adhering to the given rules.

File reference has been corrected to remove any spacing, e.g., `RM 5% Fome` is left as is due to uncertainty, assuming it might be a specific term or code.

Some sentences were reordered or rejoined for clarity and to correct OCR layout errors.

Tables were not present in the given text, so no action was taken regarding them.
