BAAG Report KWIZ #79 Naval Reports – information about Naval dockyard, Cosmopolitan dock, Kowloon docks, Taikoo dock, Aberdeen (Lamma) shipyard, Bailey’s shipyard

Elizabeth Ride has sent BAAG Report KWIZ #79, dated 29th December 1944, and noted earlier: After KWIZ #4, the Naval section is not included in the AWM papers, and does not appear again until KWIZ #66, and then in a slightly different format.

HF: I am afraid because of time constraints I am no longer able to summarize and list the most salient points in KWIZ reports as I did with the BAAG Naval Intelligence Reports, many of which are listed in our Index.

HF: If you are able to provide images of vessels or locations mentioned in this report or information about subjects referred to which you think is relevant to our website I would be delighted to hear from you.

The image shown on the Home Page of this article comes from our article, Hong Kong & Whampoa Dock – WW2 bombing – the aftermath.
