When these great guns begin to speak Britain may well bid defiance to her foes.
21 november 1939
When these great guns begin to speak Britain may well bid defiance to her foes. A coastal battery "somewhere in England". The men who man these batteries have had a long training and the photo shows of them at target practice. The guns, of large calibre are mounted on revolving platforms and are screened by earth-works, while both guns and mounting are camouflaged.
