British Military Hospital Hong Kong Wylie Road Kings Park

History and photographs of British Military Hospital Hong Kong Wylie Road Kings Park:




BMH Hong Kong on Wylie Road at Kings Park was opened in June 1967 in Kowloon (cited in the book Sub Cruce Candida: A Celebration of One Hundred Years of Army Nursing).

This new BMH Hong Kong building was a huge tower block hospital at 15 storeys high with a storm tunnel linking it to the accommodation tower block which had 12 floors. BMH Hong Kong, Wylie Road, Kings Park replaced BMH Bowen Road Hong Kong and BMH Mount Kellett. To distinguish it from the previous ones it was known as BMH Kings Park by the staff.



British Military Hospital Wylie Road was built near to the public Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The nearest barracks was Gun Club on Gascoigne Road. A further British Army barracks was located further up Wylie Road and was just on the Kowloon side of Boundary Road. North of Boundary Road was the New Territories.

My PTSD assistance dog, Lynne, and I have written a book about how she helps me with my military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety, and depression. I talk about my time in the QAs and the coping strategies I now use to be in my best health.

Along the way, I have had help from various military charities, such as Help for Heroes and The Not Forgotten Association and royalties from this book will go to them and other charities like Bravehound, who paired me with my four-legged best friend.

I talk openly about the death of my son by suicide and the help I got from psychotherapy and counselling and grief charities like The Compassionate Friends.

The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:

"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses a foreign jet fly over his Aberdeenshire home. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.

Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?

The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of former British army nurse, now horror and science fiction novel writer, C.G. Buswell.

1986 staff BMH Hong Kong with Colonel Ron Stewart CO and Lt Col N Russell Matron.

Due to the extreme weather conditions in Hong Kong this British Military Hospital soon showed signs of disrepair. Parts of the BMH had to be closed for safety reasons. For example the balconies on the top floor were deemed to be unsafe and QA's on the children's ward on floor regularly spotted rats while on night shift. Discussions were held about building a smaller MRS in the New Territories but these were dropped when the handover date to China was finalised.





One floor of British Military Hospital Hong Kong Wylie Road was used to film the BBC TV series of The Chinese Detective in 1989. Several episodes of Soldier Soldier were also filmed at the hospital in 1991.

BMH Hong Kong Kings Park was officially closed on the 30 June 1996 when the British Garrison was scaled down due to the 1997 Hong Kong handover to the Chinese Government.

Until 1999 the building was used by the Philippine Consulate-General as a refuge for dismissed domestic workers



The BMH Hong Kong Kings Park building was then demolished and houses were built on the land.
