Thank you! Yes we did but we mainly used them for the publications - but will definately include them in the map too (after securing the rights etc) - in fact, I am particularly interested in using the image of one item: collection.nam.ac.uk/detail.php?q...

Thanks for this; we have been trying to understand the command structure of the British coast artillery during the 1941 Battle of Hong Kong; they were organised into "East" and "West" Fire Commands: digital.lib.hkbu.edu.hk/1941hkbattle... (lots of coastal batteries in Hong Kong!)
