SAUFERHOEHEN:
THIS, IS A LITTLE UNUSUAL, SYSTEM HAS TWO ENTRANCES; THEIR ENTRANCE DEFENSE IS EQUIPPED WITH STEEL PLATES & MG-EMBRASURES. 2 LENGTHS OF TUNNELS, ONE WITH A LENGTH OF 350 METERS AND WITH A DEAD END, ARE BAFFLING ABOUT THEIR MEANING. A THIRD TUNNEL IN SHELL CONDITION ARE LOCATED IN A DEEPER NIVEAU. FOUR LATERAL TUNNELS, CONNECTED TOGETHER, HAVE BEEN PLANED AS WORKING ROOMS. A 48 METER HIGH ELEVATOR SHAFT WITH A DIAMETER OF 6 METERS IS LEADING ZI BUILDINGS ON THE SURFACE. LITTLE PARTS ARE CONCRETED. THE BASE IS 6200 QM, THE OVERALL TUNNEL LENGTH IS ABOUT 1700 METERS. ON THE SURFACE ABOVE THE SYSTEM ARE LOCATED SEVERAL CONVRETE BUILDINGS; TWO OF THEM ARE CALLED IN POLISH "KRAFTWERK" (POWER PLANT) AND " CASINO". THE SO CALLED "KRAFTWERK" IS MYSTERIOUS; THE OVERGROUND PART OF THE BUILDING SEEMS TO BE NOT BEGUN; STAGES ARE LEADING TO UNDERGROUND SHAFTS, CLAY-TUBES ARE REACHING TO THE SURFACE, CABLE SHAFTS ARE VISIBLE; ALSO FACILITIES FOR PROVIDING EQUIPMENT. PROBABLY THIS BUILDING SHOULD BE USED AS HEATING AND/OR VENTILATION SYSTEM FOR THE TUNNELS.

SHELTERS PLYMOUTH.
PLYMOUTH'S WORLD WAR TWO UNDERGROUND AIR RAID SHELTERS
BY STEPHEN JOHNSON-SEE WEB SITE..

IN 1939 PLYMOUTH THE EXTENDED SCHOOL SUMMER HOLIDAY SAW FURIOUS ACTIVITY IN THE DESERTED SCHOOL PLAYGROUNDS & VERDANT PUBLIC PARKLANDS. MECHANICAL EXCAVATORS WERE BUSY DIGGING TRENCHES IN THESE PLAYGROUNDS, IN ALMOST EVERY CITY PARK, AND IN MANY SPORTS GROUNDS. NOT EVEN LITTLE GREEN SHRUB BORDERS WERE SPARED. THE AIM OF ALL
THIS ACTIVITY WAS TO PROVIDE UNDERGROUND REFUGEES FOR THE POPULATION OF PLYMOUTH. THIS WAR WOULD BRING A NEW THREAT -AERIAL ATTACK BY BOMBS OF 500KG AND MORE- THE FRONT LINE WAS NOT TO BE A MUDDY FIELD IN SOME FAR
OFF LAND, BUT RIGHT HERE IN OUR TOWN. MUTLEY, STOKE, DEVONPORT AND ST
BUDEAUX: ALL WERE THE FRONT LINE IN 1939, WHEN THE FRONT LINE WAS TO
SHORTLY BECOME THE HOME LINE AND THE DELIVERENCE OF D-DAY

THESE TRENCHES WERE TO BE KNOWN AS ":PUBLIC UNDERGROUND AIR
RAID...ATTACK FROM ABOVE. SHELTERS". SIZE WOULD VARY GREATLY, FROM A HUMBLE 50 PERSON SHELTER TO A VIRTUAL UNDERGROUND VILLAGE OFFERING PROTECTION FOR 1,200 OF OUR CITIZENS. SOME SHELTERS WERE BASIC, OFFERING MERELY PROTECTION FROM THE GERMAN BOMBERS OVERHEAD AND SOMEWHERE TO SIT AND ANSWER THE CALL OF NATURE. OTHERS ROSE TO THE LUXURY OF BUNKS & A CANTEEN.

BY LATE 1940, VIRTUALLY EVERYBODY LIVING IN THE "THEN PLYMOUTH AREA",
WAS NO MORE THAN MAY BE FIVE MINUTES FROM AN UNDERGROUND REFUGE. THESE AIR RAID SHELTERS WOULD BE NO PROTECTION AGAINST A DIRECT HIT (AS WOULD BE SO PAINFULLY PROVED LATER IN THE WAR) BUT WOULD GIVE EXCELLENT PROTECTION AGAINST A NEAR MISS AND PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANTLY AGAINST FLYING DEBRIS SUCH AS ROOF SLATES, MASONRY AND GLASS, AND OF COURSE SHRAPNEL.

SO BY THE END OF 1940 WE CAN ENVISAGE A CITY WHOSE SCHOOL PLAYGROUNDS
AND PARKLANDS ARE HONEYCOMBED WITH PASSAGES WHICH DURING "AIR RAID CONDITIONS" WOULD FILL WITH THE JOSTLING HUMANITY OF WAR-TORN PLYMOUTH, WHERE SONGS WOULD BE SUNG ("ROLL OUT THE BARREL", "RUN RABBIT RUN" & SO ON), WHERE BIRTHDAYS WOULD BE CELEBRATED UNDERGROUND, & WHERE SCHOOL LESSONS AND TABLES WOULD BE REPEATED IN "TROGLODYTE" CLASSROOMS.
STORIES OF NEAR MISSES AND OF THOSE WHO HAD BEEN "BOMBED OUT" WOULD BE PASSED AROUND OVER A THERMOS OF TEA AND A SLICE OF BREAD AND BUTTER & SADLY, MOST SADLY OF ALL, THIS WOULD BE A PLYMOUTH WHERE MANY OF OUR CITIZENS, OUR MOTHERS AND FATHERS, OUR GRANDPARENTS, OUR CHILDREN AND OUR BABIES WOULD HAVE THEIR LIVES SLIP AWAY FROM THEM WHILE HUDDLED DEEP UNDER SOME VERDANT PARK OR OTHERWISE JOYFUL PLAYGROUND WHERE ONLY SOME BRIEF INSTANT AGO, ON THE GROUND ABOVE THERE HAD BEEN SO MUCH JOLLITY & LAUGHTER.
WHAT MORE CAN BE SAID TO CAST A MIND-PICTURE OF LIFE IN PLYMOUTH IN
THOSE DARK DAYS OF THE SPRING OF 1941 WHEN OUR CITY WAS VERY NEARLY
BROUGHT TO ITS KNEES? WE CAN FEEL WE HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING: WELL, ALMOST, BUT NEVER QUITE ALL - FOR IN A SHELTER NOT ONE HALF MILE AWAY AGAIN A GRAFFITI SHOWS A CRUMBLING AND SMOULDERING SWASTIKA, THE GERMAN EAGLE PLUCKED OF ITS FEATHERS AND, ABOVE, THE INSCRIPTION "AFTER".

NUMBERS & LOCATIONS. IT IS OFTEN ASKED "IS THERE A SHELTER IN MY PARK
OR UNDER MY SCHOOL?" THE ANSWER IS ALMOST INVARIABLY "YES!" A VISIT TO THE WEST DEVON RECORDS OFFICE, PLYMOUTH AND A LOOK AT THE A.R.P. SECTOR PLANS WILL HELP THE INQUIRER TO HIGHLIGHT THE BEWILDERING NUMBER OF LOCATIONS, OF WHICH HERE I SHALL LIST JUST A FEW.
DEVONPORT PARK AND CENTRAL PARK EACH HAD 5 SHELTERS PROVIDING REFUGE FOR UP TO 1,200 PEOPLE. VICTORIA PARK HAD 3 SHELTERS & PARKS SUCH AS THORN PARK, TOTHILL PLAYING FIELD, NORTH PROSPECT RECREATION GROUND, ALEXANDRA PARK, THE BLOCKHOUSE, ST. LEVAN'S PARK, PLYMOUTH COLLEGE PLAYING FIELDS, & ASTOR PLAYING FIELDS ALL HAD A SHELTER. SCHOOLS, OF COURSE, HAD & STILL DO HAVE THEM SUCH AS: SUTTON HIGH, HYDE PARK, MONTPELIER, SALISBURY ROAD, NORTH PROSPECT, KEYHAM BARTON, ST. BONIFACE, DEVONPORT TECHNICAL, PRE-WAR DEVONPORT HIGH FOR BOYS (NOW THE PLYMOUTH COLLEGE OF FURTHER EDUCATION) AND PUBLIC CENTRAL (NOW PART OF THE UNIVERSITY). EVEN PUBLIC COURTYARDS, LARGE FRONT AND BACK GARDENS AND CAR PARKS WERE NOT IMMUNE TO BEING DUG UP AND HAVING TRENCHES LAID. A COMMON BACKLANE DOOR MAY REVEAL A LONG FORGOTTEN HATCH THAT LEADS DEEP BELOW TO A SHELTER; SET WITHIN A LONG DISUSED LIMESTONE QUARRY WITH DRIPPING STALACTITES GROWING DOWN FROM THE CEILING; AND GUARDING A STAIRCASE UNDER A VAULTED ROOF. HOW MANY HANDS HAVE GLIDED ALONG THAT RAIL. HOW MANY MEMORIES LINGER HERE.

JUST HOW MANY SHELTERS WERE THERE AND HOW MANY EXIST TODAY? THIS IS NOT AN EASY QUESTION. RECORDS ARE AT TIMES VAGUE, INACCURATE AND OFTEN MISLEADING. ALSO FROM THE PLANS IT IS DIFFICULT SOMETIMES TO TELL WHETHER ONE SHELTER WAS BUILT WITH SIX SEPARATE TUNNELS - OR WAS IT SIX SHELTERS? WHICHEVER WAY IT IS LOOKED AT, THERE WERE HUNDREDS AND PROBABLY 100 OR SO SHELTERS SURVIVE TODAY.

FEATURES AND METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION TODAY, UNDER OUR FEET THESE
SHELTERS SLEEP, SEALED UP, COVERED WITH EARTH, TURF ON CONCRETE AND TAR, BUT STILL THERE, LEFT MUCH AS THEY WERE THE DAY THE LAST "RESIDENT" LEFT. APART FROM "TALKING" GRAFFITI, WHAT ELSE WAS LEFT BEHIND? SMALL THINGS - "PEOPLE'S THINGS" - WERE LEFT SUCH AS: TRAIN TICKETS, PURSES, SHOES, HAIR GRIPS, PERFUME BOTTLES, MARBLES, PENCILS, COINS, COLOURING BOOK PAGES, REMAINS OF THAT LAST MEAL - BONES OF PIG, COW, SHEEP, AND RABBIT TO NAME BUT A FEW. OTHER STRANGE ITEMS INCLUDED EMPTY SEA-SHELLS SUCH AS LIMPETS OR PERIWINKLES. WERE THESE ALSO REMAINS OF A MEAL OR MERELY USED AS CHILDREN'S TOYS?

SOME SHELTERS HAVE MUCH OF THEIR CONSTRUCTION FABRIC, FITTINGS AND
FURNISHINGS REMAINING. ITEMS SUCH AS INTACT WOODEN BENCHES, ELECTRIC LIGHT INSTALLATIONS, WIRING, REFLECTORS AND BULBS CHEMICAL 'ELSAN' TOILET BUCKETS WITH WOODEN SEATS, IRON: STANDS FOR 'WASH BOWLS', SANDBAGS STILL STANDING FIRM AGAINST THE NEXT BOMB BLAST WHICH WILL NOW NEVER COME, BLAST CURTAINS STILL HANGING TO PROTECT AGAINST THE INGRESS OF FLYING DEBRIS, GAS BLINDS WAITING TO SEAL THE SHELTER OFF IN CASE OF A POISON GAS ATTACK, STAIRWAYS AND DOORWAYS TO NOWHERE. SOFT DRINK BOTTLES THAT NEVER WERE RETURNED FOR THEIR DEPOSIT, SIGNS TELLING YOU TO COLLECT THE KEYSFROM A NOW DERELICT LODGE. ALL SO QUIET, SO PEACEFUL, JUST THE DRIP,DRIP,DRIP,OF WATER ON WATER AND THE INVASIVE PLANT ROOTS GROW BIG ON IT. . NOBODY EVER RETURNED FOR THE JAM-JAR. THE WAR IS OVER, WOUNDS ARE HEALED. THE LAMP WILL LIGHT NO MORE DARKNESS AND THE WOODEN BENCH WILL HAVE NO MORE COMPANY.

THERE ARE ONE OR TWO ITEMS OF 'TRIVIA' THAT MAY BE OF INTEREST.POSTERS
DATED 1940-41 STILL HANG IN MANY AIR RAID SHELTERS, INFORMING ONE THAT SMOKING IS PROHIBITED AND THAT 'DOGS ARE NOT ADMITTED'....(THEY MAY GET HYSTERICS DURING A RAID AND BITE PEOPLE).

HOW DID THESE SHELTERS WORK AND HOW WERE THEY BUILT? FIRSTLY, THERE ARE BASICALLY TWO COMMON TYPES OF PLYMOUTH PUBLIC UNDERGROUND AIR-RAID SHELTERS. THE FIRST IS THE 'ARCH' TYPE AND THE SECOND IS THE 'SQUARE' TYPE - BOTH REFERRING TO THE SHAPE OF THE TUNNEL CROSS-SECTION. BOTH TYPES APPEAR TO OCCUR IN ROUGHLY EQUAL NUMBERS IN THE CITY AND OFTEN IF TWO SHELTERS ARE BUILT IN THE SAME PLAYGROUND OR PARK, ONE MAY BE 'ARCH' AND THE OTHER 'SQUARE'. POSSIBLY DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS BUILT IN DIFFERENT WAYS DEPENDING ON THE AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS OR LABOUR, OR PERHAPS THESE STYLE DIFFERENCES REFLECT DIFFERENT DATES OF CONSTRUCTION.

FOR BOTH TYPES, THE INITIAL METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED.
FIRSTLY A LARGE DEEP TRENCH WAS CUT BY MECHANICAL EXCAVATION. THE TRENCH WAS LAID OUT TO A PLAN OF TUNNELS OR 'GALLERIES', TO ONE ANOTHER, TO PREVENT BLAST SHOOTING FROM ONE END OF THE SHELTER RIGHT THROUGH TO THE OTHER. BASICALLY SHELTERS WORKED ON A DAMAGE LIMITATION PLAN. IF YOU WERE IN THE ACTUAL PART OF THE SHELTER THAT TOOK A HIT....TOUGH, BUT IF YOU WERE JUST AROUND THE RIGHT-ANGLE BEND, THEN YOU WOULD PROBABLY BE ALRIGHT. A SECTION THAT HAD BEEN HIT WOULD BE SIMPLY SEALED-OFF BY BUILDING A WALL ACROSS THE TRENCH, AND THE UNDAMAGED SECTION WOULD CARRY ON AS A SMALLER SHELTER; AS SHOWN IN THE PREVIOUS PHOTO. THESE TRENCHES WERE THEN CONCRETE LINED. IN THE 'ARCH' TYPE, LIQUID CONCRETE WAS POURED OVER A WOODEN SHELTER WHILE IN THE 'SQUARE' TYPE, PRE-CAST CONCRETE SECTIONS WERE SLOTTED AND LOCKED IN TOGETHER RATHER LIKE 'LEGO'.

AFTER COMPLETION, BOTH TYPES OF SHELTERS WERE EITHER CAPPED OVER WITH EARTH OR THE PLAYGROUND RE-TARMACED OVER. BOTH TYPES ALSO HAD TOILET COMPARTMENTS AT EITHER END OF THE GALLERIES WITH CRUDE SPRING DOORS FOR PRIVACY BEING STENCILLED 'LADIES' AND 'GENTS'. SOME TOILETS WERE VENTED, EITHER TO THE OPEN AIR, OR TO THE SHELTER NEXT DOOR IN THE PARK!

THE 'SQUARE' TYPE SHELTER OFTEN HAD LARGE STEEL REINFORCING GIRDERS SET WITHIN IT TO STRENGTHEN THE CONSTRUCTION. APPARENTLY, WHEN NEWLY BUILT, THE 'SQUARE' TYPE (PREFABRICATED) SHELTERS WERE NOT UP TO THE SHOCK OF THE BOMBING SO IRON GIRDERS WERE ADDED LATER ON TO BRING THEM UP TO SPECIFICATION. UNDERGROUND AIR RAID SHELTERS WERE BUILT TO A STANDARD LAYOUT, OFTEN THEIR ACTUAL SHAPE AND LAYOUT BEING DICTATED BY THE PHYSICAL TOPOGRAPHY OF THE SITE THEY WERE BUILT INTO - ALMOST BEING DESIGNED AS THEY WERE BUILT.

THE STANDARD DIMENSIONS WERE:- DEPTH BELOW GROUND 25M - 0.7M; WIDTH OF GALLERIES 1.4M; HEIGHT OF GALLERIES 1.7M - 1.9M; LENGTH OF GALLERIES 20M - 27M. THE 'ARCH' TYPE FEATURES GALLERIES PAINTED THROUGHOUT WITH WHITEWASH, WHILE THE 'SQUARE' TYPE HAS A NATURAL CONCRETE FINISH THROUGHOUT WITH WHITEWASH ONLY BEING APPLIED NEAR THE ENTRANCE AREAS, POSSIBLY TO EASE INGRESS AND EGRESS IN BLACKOUT CONDITIONS. LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE HAS REVEALED THAT THE SECTIONS FOR THE SQUARE TYPE WERE BROUGHT UP FROM CORNWALL, BEING MADE AT THE PENTEWAN CONCRETE BLOCK WORKS, NEAR PAR, THE SAND COMING FROM THE NEARBY SILTED UP HARBOUR. MANY SHELTERS FEATURE ONE OR TWO INTERNAL DRAINS. PRIMARY SOURCE RESEARCH TENDS TO POINT TO TWO USES. ONE WAS FOR THE CLEANSING AND DISINFECTION OF THE SHELTER, THE OTHER WAS FOR THE EMPTYING OF THE CHEMICAL TOILET BUCKETS INTO!!

BOTH TYPES HAVE ONE OR MORE ESCAPE HATCHES. THE FUNCTION OF THESE
HATCHES WAS TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY ESCAPE FROM THE SHELTER IN THE EVENT OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE AND ENTRANCE STAIRWELL BEING BLOCKED BY THE RUBBLE OF A DIRECT HIT ON A CLOSE-BY LARGE BUILDING. THESE HATCHES ARE VERTICALLY OVERHEAD AND SET IN THE ROOF OF BOTH TYPES OF SHELTER. EACH HATCH WAS REACHED AND OPENED BY MEANS OF A STEEL LADDER, AND WAS PROVIDED WITH A VENTILATION GRILL TO PROVIDE FRESH AIR TO THE SHELTER. BENEATH THE GRILL WE HAVE FOUND A BUTTERFLY NUT CONTROLLED METAL DISC BACKED BY AN 'O' RING SEAL. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTUAL OR ANTICIPATED POISON GAS ATTACK, THIS BUTTERFLY NUT WOULD SCREW UP AGAINST A THREADED SPINDLE AND HOLD THE DISC AND 'O' RING FIRMLY AGAINST THE GRILLING IN ORDER TO RENDER THE SHELTER 'GAS-TIGHT'.

TO FURTHER PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS OF THE SHELTER FROM GAS ATTACK, THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF EACH SHELTER HAD AN AIR-LOCK TYPE CONSTRUCTION BUILT INTO ITS DESIGN. UPON ENTRY, A GAS-BLIND WOULD HAVE TO BE RAISED UP, ADMITTING THOSE ENTERING INTO A VESTIBULE, THIS BLIND THEN BEING CLOSED BEHIND THEM. BEFORE BEING ABLE TO PASS INTO THE MAIN PART OF THE SHELTER, A SECOND BLIND WOULD AGAIN HAVE TO BE OPENED AND CLOSED TO PERMIT EXIT FROM THE VESTIBULE COMPARTMENT TO THE SHELTER PROPER. THESE BLINDS ALSO FUNCTION AS 'BLAST CURTAINS' BEING THICK, HEAVY AND FIBROUS IN NATURE. ANY FLYING DEBRIS WOULD BE STOPPED UPON IMPACT BY THE CURTAIN FROM ENTERING THE SHELTER PROPER.

WORLD WAR 1 AIR RAID SHELTER. TM 2707-4985.
OWNER:- EDWARD BERT.
LOCATION:- 8, BREDFIELD ROAD, MELTON, NR.WOODBRIDGE, SUFFOLK.
REAR GARDEN, R.H.S.
SURVEYED BY:-D.A.WOOD & A. LOCKWOOD
IN 1915 A ZEPPELIN RAID ON WOODBRIDGE CAUSED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE & SOME LOSS OF LIFE. THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE, A WILLAM MARJORAM AN EX BUILDER DECIDED TO CONSTRUCT A SHELTER FOR HIS FAMILY, HIS AGE IS STATED ON THE WALL AS BEEN 70!
FIRST WORLD WAR SHELTERS IN ENGLAND MUST BE RARE AND NOT ONLY IS THIS ONE RARE ITS A WORK OF ART AND DEVOTION.
THE SHELTER ENTRANCE IS CONSTRUCTED IN THE STYLE OF A MINIATURE SUFFOLK CHURCH PORCH. ITS ENTIRELY MADE OF CONCRETE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FLINTS USED IN THE WALLS AND ITS WOODEN DOOR. EVEN THE TILES ON THE ROOF WERE CAST IN CONCRETE. ONCE INSIDE A NARROW HOLE IN THE FLOOR LED DOWN VIA A THIRTEEN STEP, SPIRAL STAIRCASE TO A NARROW TUNNEL, WHICH LED TO THE SHELTER ITS SELF.
THE TUNNEL IS SOME FOUR FOOT LONG, TWENTY INCHES WIDE AND WAS CONSTRUCTED USING SMALL WOOD BATTENS AS SHUTTERING. ITS HEIGHT IS ONLY THREE FOOT ELEVEN INCHES. THE SHELTER IS IN THE FORM OF A CYLINDER WITH A DOMED ROOF, EIGHT FOOT DIA., AND JUST OVER NINE FEET IN HEIGHT TO THE TOP OF THE DOME. THERE ARE TWO AIR VENTS FITTED, THESE UTILISE CAST IRON DOWN PIPES. ONE FITTED IN THE SIDE OF THE SHELTER WALL AND THE OTHER CENTRAL TO THE DOME ROOF. THE LATER VENT EXITS ON THE SURFACE VIA AN ORNAMENTAL CHIMNEY POT WHICH IS FILLED WITH CONCRETE.
THE WALLS OF THE CHAMBER WERE CONSTRUCTED USING CONCRETE BLOCKS AND A SEAT FOURTEEN INCHES WIDE WAS CONSTRUCTED ALL AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF IT.
WILLIAM WAS NOT ONLY A SKILFUL BUILDER (FOR HIS AGE), BUT A DEEPLY RELIGIOUS ONE. PAINSTAKINGLY ETCHED INTO THE DAMP CONCRETE ARE TO BE FOUND RELIGIOUS TEXTS. HE COVERED ALL THE SURFACES OF THE ENTRANCE PORCH WITH THEM AND ONE ROW OF THE BLOCKS IN THE SHELTER.
THE GROUND ABOVE THE DOME OF THE SHELTER HAS BEEN RAISED BY APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET, TO ADD EXTRA COVER. THIS WAS NOT A SHELTER FOR A PERSON OF LARGE STATURE, THE NARROW ENTRANCE FOR THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THEM USING IT AND IF THE ENTRANCE BECAME BLOCKED THERE WAS NO ESCAPE.
THE SHELTER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, BUT WAS SUFFERING FROM HIGH HUMIDITY ON THE DAY WE SURVEYED IT. LETS HOPE THIS UNIQUE CIVILIAN SHELTER SURVIVES FOR ANOTHER EIGHTY TWO YEARS.

NOTES ON SUBMARINE MINING FROM A HISTORY OF SUBMARINE MINING IN THE BRITISH ARMY 1919.

ONE OF THE FIRST TELEPHONES USED IN ENGLAND WERE USED AT CORK & PEMBROKE DOCKS 1877-78 BY Lt R.M. RUCK.

THE SHUTTER BOARD WAS DESIGNED BY Lt G.A. CARR IN 1873 IT WAS CUSTOMARY TO FIX ALL THE WIRING & TESTING INSTRUMENTS ON A TABLE, ON WHICH THE VARIOUS POINTS WERE IDENTIFIED BY LETTERS. SHUTTER BOXES WERE ALSO IN USE BUT WERE PLACED ON THE EDGE OF THE TEST TABLE. WITH THE INCREASED SIZE OF MINEFIELDS THERE WAS AN INCREASED RISK OF MAKING A WRONG CONNECTION! THE FIRST STEP TO AID PREVENTION OF THIS WAS TO FIX THE SHUTTER BOXES ON SHELVES ON THE WALL ABOVE THE TEST TABLE-FIRING KEYS & EARTHS WERE MOVED TO A SEPARATE SMALL TABLE & THE FIRING KEYS & BATTERIES WERE PLACED ROUND THE ROOM WITH THE LEADS FASTENED AROUND THE WALLS.
TO PRESERVE THE SHUTTER BOXES FROM THE JAR OF GUN FIRE OR MINE EXPLOSION THEY WITH THEIR BRACKETS WERE MOUNTED ON A BOARDED SURFACE, CALLED THE THE 'SHUTTER BOARD'. IT WAS ABOUT 12' LONG x 4' HIGH AND SUPPORTED ON SOLID VERTICAL TIMBERS A FEW INCHES FROM THE WALL.

TOWARDS THE END OF 1894 EXPERIMENTS WERE CARRIED OUT AT STOKES BAY, CONCERNING ELECTRIC LIGHT ENGINES, USING PARAFFIN OIL AS A FUEL, TWO PATTERNS WERE TESTED. MADE BY MESSRS PRIESTMAN & MESSRS HORNSBY. THE HORNSBY WAS EVENTUALLY ADOPTED FOR SERVICE. PRIOR TO THIS ALL POWER WAS OBTAINED VIA A STEAM BOILER. THIS REQUIRED TWO TO THREE HOURS TO GET UP STEAM, WHERE AS THE PARAFFIN OIL ENGINE TOOK TWENTY MINUTES; ONLY REQUIRED HALF THE NUMBER OF MEN & COST LESS FOR SPARES.

1. SUFFOLK COMMAND WW2 DEFENCE LAYOUT.
COMMAND. ALL TROOPS IN SUB SECTION No 4 ARE UNDER THE OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF No 4 SUB SECTOR COMMAND.

ON 'ACTION STATIONS' ALL NON DIVISIONAL UNITS IN THE SUB SECTOR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PIONEER CONPANIES, WILL COME UNDER THE COMMAND OF COMMANDER No 4 SUB SECTOR.

WHERE SUCH PERSONNEL ARE ARMED (SUCH AS COAST ARTILLERY UNITS R.A.) THEY WILL CARRY OUT THEIR PRIMARY ROLE UNTIL AMMUNITION IS EXPENDED, AND THEN COME UNDER THE ORDERS OF A LOCAL UNIT COMMANDER.

2. TACTICAL LAYOUT.
THE SUB SECTOR IS HELD WITH THREE BTLNS FORWARD IN LINE, BTLN BOUNDRIES ARE SHOWN ON MAP No 2.

THE RIGHT BTLN HOLDS THE FELIXSTOWE AREA, BOUNDED BY THE RIVER ORWELL ON THE SOUTH & THE RIVER DEBEN ON THE NORTH. THE COASTAL DEFENCE OF THE TOWN OF FELISTOWE IS OF NECESSITY LINEAR & IS PROVIDED BY THREE COMPANIES. A FOURTH COMPANY HOLDS THE SUB AREA OF THE GOLF CLUB HOUSE 7854 & A FIFTH COMPANY PROVIDES REARWARD DEFENCE IN THE WALTON 7453 SUB AREA. THIS REAWARD DEFENCE OF THE TOWN IS REINFORCED BY DETACHMENTS OF 6 SUFFOLK BTLN HOME GUARD.

ANTI TANK DEFENCE IS PROVIDED BY THREE 6 PDR GUNS & A MOBILE TROOP OF 75MM GUNS & THE AREA IS SUROUDED BY A PARTLY NATURAL & PARTLY DUG TANK OBSTACLE.

SUPPORTING ARMS IN THIS AREA AND IN THE REAR OF IT CONSIST OF ONE P1 MEDIUM MACHINE GUNS, ONE BATTERY FIELD ARTILLERY, ONE TROOP MEDIUM ARTILLERY & ONE SUPER HEAVY BATTERY.

TO THE SOUTH OF FELIXSTOWE IS LANDGUARD PENINSULAR, OCCUPIED BY UNITS OF THE ROYAL NAVY, ARMY & R.A.F. DETAILS ARE GIVEN IN APPENDIX 'F'. EACH UNIT HAS ITS PRIMARY ROLE ACCORDING TO ITS ARM OF THE SERVICE, BUT IN ORDER THAT THE DEFENCE OF LANDGUARD CAN BE CO-ORDINATED SO THAT IT CAN CO-OPERATE IN THE GENERAL DEFENCE OF FELIXSTOWE PENINSULA, A COMMAND LANDGUARD PENINSULAR FOR GROUND DEFENCE IS APPOINTED.

THE CENTRE BTLN DEFENDS THE COAST FROM THE RIVER DEBEN TO HOLLESLEY BAY 8062 INCLUSIVE WITH FOUR COMPANIES FORWARD IN LINE. THE RIGHT COMPANY DEFENDS THE R.D.F. STATION ON BAWDSEY POINT 7855 & THE REMAINING THREE COMPANYS HOLD DEFENDED SUB-AREAS IN THE BAWDSEY 798, ALDERTON 7959 & HOLLESLEY AREAS.

ANTI TANK DEFENCE IS PROVIDED BY ONE 6 PDR GUN & A MOBILE TROOP OF 2 PDR GUNS. IT IS INTENDED THAT TANK OBSTACLES SHOULD BE DUG AROUND EACH COMPANY SUB AREA.

SUPPORTING ARMS IN THIS AREA & IN THE REAR OF IT CONSIST OF ONE P1 MEDIUM MACHINE GUNS, ONE BATTERY FIELD ARTILLERY, ONE TROOP MEDIUM ARTILLERY & ONE SUPER HEAVY BATTERY.

FORWARD ROUTES TO THIS AREA RADIATE FROM THE BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER DEBEN AT MELTON 7368, CAUSING MELTON TO BE AN IMPORTANT NODAL POINT. THE AREA OF THIS BRIDGE IS AT PRESENT DEFENDED FROM THE WEST SIDE BY ONE PLTN OF 5 SUFFOLK BTLN HOME GUARD.

THE RIGHT BTLN AREA EXTENDS FROM BOYTON 8265 TO THE RIVER ALDE IN THE NORTH. THREE COMPANYS HOLD THE HIGH GROUND OVERLOOKING THE MARSH LAND, BORDERING THE RIVER ALDE, IN THE BOYTON, ORFORD 8767 & SUDBOURNE 6870 SUB AREA. THE FOURTH COMPANY PROVIDES DEPTH & REARWARD PROTECTION TO THE DEFENCE IN THE BUTLEY 8169 SUB AREA.
