A Dover defence gun casts a Cyclopean eye toward
the invader who never arrived.
This 9.2 inch rifle guarding the island “aircraft
carrier” is intended to “repel boarders.”
It does not take part in cross-channel duels. From its
railway mounting it fires a 380-pound shell.
Girls man a range finder 20 miles
from enemy lines.
Calculating the height and range of German planes is the
job of this crew of the Auxiliary Territorial Service at
Dover. The Lance-Corporal and her team relay their findings
to the director for calculation. All four wear battledress.
