The whole district of San On and the islands adjacent thereto. His original headquarters were at Tai Pang (see Map VII, showing residences, and this official designation is still used in the Returns of Specials). Tai Pang was the place where Colonel [name] was stationed, and at which place he shall maintain his official quarters. The reason for his having taken up residence within the City of Kowloon was to place him in closer relations with the Colony of Hong Kong.
As the garrison now under the Command of the Colonel is maintained for the defence of the district of San On and the adjoining islands, and as most of the islands are occupied or leased by the British Government, most of the soldiers now employed under the Colonial Command will be disbanded or transferred elsewhere. Whilst the services of those men are well required, not within but outside the territory referred to in the proclamation, the residence of the Colonel Commanding and of his troops within the city of Kowloon is entirely unnecessary. But it is written that the military requirements for the defence of Hong Kong must surely render it impossible to allow the extension in the very heart of the Kowloon boundary.
