Sir,

Enclosure No. 2.

Army Headquarters,

South Clina Comand,

Hon Long.

8th November, 1928.

Kowloon Peak Barrack Sites.

With reference to your letter c.2560/1926

dated 3rd November 1928, I am to say that I fully concur with your view that the continued retention by the Tar Department of the Kowloon Barrack Sites is no longer necessary.

I am continuing to press the matter with the Army Council and only addressed a letter to them on the subject on 31st October.

I may add that the arguments in favour of abandonment of these barrack sites set out in your letter

under reply, have not been overlooked in making my recommend-

ations to War Office.

The Honourable

The Colonial Secretary,

Hong Kong.

I a, &c.,

(Sd.) R. 3. Skinner,

Colonel,
