Text Correction
There was an error in the original publication [1]. A few words have been deleted from the main text. A correction has been made to the Methodology and Conclusions Sections. The following corrections should read: “By analyzing the new topographic information and the old documents stated before, we re-engineer the purpose and strategic value of these features of war and the defense strategy of the Japanese forces in Hong Kong.” and “It is fortunate that Hong Kong was spared from another counter-invasion by the Allied forces during the Japanese occupation; had it occurred, it would have brought extensive destruction to the city.”. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected.
References
In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in reference, “Survey and Mapping Office of Lands Department of HKSAR Government. Digital Orthophoto. 2024. Available online: https://www.landsd.gov.hk/en/survey-mapping/mapping/aerial-photo-photogrammetric-products/digital-orthophoto.html#:~:text=DOP1000%2D1963%20is%20using%20mainly,aerial%20photographs%20are%20not%20available (accessed on 11 April 2024)” has been added in original referenced data.
The citation [14] has now been inserted in the Results Section, Figure 3, Figure 9, Figure 10, Figure 12, and Figure 13’s description, and should read:
Figure 3. (a) Aerial photo of Mount Parker in 1963 [14]. (b) 3D DTM-RRIM indicating location of the three tunnels constructed by the 314th Naval Construction Battalion in Mount Parker.”, “Figure 9. Discovered WNC Gap tunnel. (a) Map indicating the location of discovered tunnel. (b) Aerial photo of WNC Gap taken in 1963 [14]. (c) DTM-RRIM of the discovered tunnel. (d,e) TLS 3D mesh model of tunnel.”, “Figure 10. Features of war found in Mount Cameron. (a) A map indicates the location of features of war. (b) Aerial photo of Mount Cameron taken in 1963 [14]. (Feature in red rectangle is study structure). (c) Location of position in DTM-RRIM. (dg) TLS 3D mesh model of structure.”, and “Figure 12. Kamikaze Grotto in Sok Kwu Wan. (a) Location of the grotto and surroundings. (b) The grotto in DTM-RRIM. (c) The grotto in aerial photo taken in 1963 [14]. (dg) TLS 3D mesh model of the grotto.”, and “Figure 13. Discovered tunnel in Mount Stenhouse. (a) Aerial photo of the tunnel taken in 1963 [14]. (b) The tunnel overlays with DTM-RRIM. (c) Angle of view taken at tunnel entrance. (dg) TLS 3D mesh model of the grotto.”.
With this correction, the order of some references has been adjusted accordingly. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
