    Ray, your childhood recolections are just as important! Fascinating mate, thanks for taking the time.
  11. Tomas just ignore him April the first jokes are supposed to end at 12 noon! Nice truck whatever she is. Whatever you have something that is unique. We had a red Diahatsu 4x4 that looked like a Postman Pat van, the addition of a picture of Postman Pat's cat was added, splatted on the bumper. So Specsavers stole OUR idea!.
  12. Quick guess especially in a costal battery the size sounds right for a optical convergence range finder. You don't say where the mounting is. Imagine a pair of binclars with long arms at right angles. The optics are in each arm. When you look through you will se etwo images. By twisting the focus to bring the images together, 'Converge' you can read the range off a scale. Thet is then passed to the guns. The usual is one range finder per gun, but if the site is surveyed in the the devation can be applied to each gun site. The only picture I have of one is the replica 2 metre coverd unit at Lothriegin.

    Pal's Battalions came about as part of Kitcener's New Army. The mass 'Your Country Needs You poster campain. The result was many 'groups' such as sports clubs and factrory workers joined as groups and at the time had a choice of unit. The result was disasterous. The Jersey contingent, attached to the 7th Royal Irish Rifles lost 100 men out of 360. the Royal Gurnersey Rifles lost even more. During world War Two the Royal Militia Island of Jersey went as a group just before the Occupation to join the parent regiment, The Hampshires. They became the 11th Battalion (RMI J) The Hampshire Regiment. The battalion became a holding battalion. They were not allowed to fight as a unit. As a concesion Jersey men wore the title Jersey under the Hampshire shoulder tab, and were allowed to transfer to combat units and keep their original cap badge.
