MASSED GUNS ON COAST AWAIT INVADERS
(From L. MARSLAND GANDER)
BRITAIN'S COASTAL batteries, strengthened and improved immeasurably since Dunkirk days, are preparing a devastating welcome for invaders. I have just seen a night shoot by six-inch guns that are the first line of our island defence,
While bombers bound for Germany throbbed overhead, shore searchlights picked up moving tar- get representing the bows and stern of an enemy transport. The first gun fired; then, still dazzled and deafened in the battery observation post, I saw the shell land amidships on the target.
There was a chorus of "Good; “Romeo” and “Juliet" shot!" from a little group of Royal Artillery officers. Afterwards the guns spoke seven times more and secured three direct hits at 3,500
10000000 yards.

MICABUTO
A naval officer who cooperates with the Royal Artillery in this section of the coast discussed with me the problems. of invasion and defence.
The Nazis would need a week of fine weather, be said. Despite the best efforts of the Navy, we the must expect
Germans to land considerable, forces, rs. gardless of loss.
This naval officer believes that in these islands air action and landing of airborne troops could not produce any decisive result, and that the Germans must still rely on sea transport for the heavy equipment they would need. Nevertheless, air possibilities have not been neglected."
Life by the English seaside in 1941, is 2 strange experience. Where the holidaymakers used to sunbathe, the gunners off duty form exclusive bathing parties on the mined and wired beaches. The regimental concert party, with a surprising show of talent, takes the place of the professionals.
