If you do not understand anything on this page please contact us.
In March 1941, 235 Anti-Tank Battery fielded an anti-tank gun at the stated military grid reference R 615778. This would fall among low lying fields, criss-crossed by drainage ditches, to the south of the Sturry Road. (Could this possibly be an error for a better documented emplacement to the north of the said road, in the parish of Sturry?)
