You're Top Poster: #2   | The Coastal Artillery Thread I thought maybe, given the discussion on coastal artillery in the invasion of Los Angeles thread, we could perhaps recognise the service of the coastal artillery personnel around the world with some posts of surviving emplacements and maybe details of ops. I'll start with the Rottnest Island ones I posted in the thread mentioned above: Oliver Hill Battery, Rottnest Island, Western Australia during WW2 Olivers Hill Battery, Rottnest Island, WA Profile

You're Top Poster: #2 | Shh, Quokkas are the island's defence force now! Vicious little things, they'll trip you over and then steal the change out of your pocket for a raid on the bakery!
