Part of this duty meant 10 days at a time out in the Islands north of the colony stopping the influx on Chinese people across the border. In reality it was a great big long wire fence but they used to cut it and come through. The Hong Kong authorities were not particularly bothered but we Brits were treaty bound by the Chinese to stop the influx so that's what we did. It was a little like the Berlin wall except they and us never used to shoot at them. We simply captured them and sent them back. The strange thing is China as far as I understand still restricts immigration into the former colony to this day.
