Sham Shui Po Barracks

Sham Shui Po Barracks was a British Army facility built in the 1920s in the Sham Shui Po area of Kowloon, Hong Kong.

During World War II, the Imperial Japanese Army used it as a POW camp for British, Indian and Canadian soldiers.

In 1959, the military handed a strip of land within the base to the Hong Kong government so that Lai Chi Kok Road could be extended.

[1] In the late 1970s and early 1980s the camp was used to house Vietnamese refugees.

These can be found at Sham Shui Po Park, also part of the former base.
