In 1942, a Japanese documentary was filmed which featured Japanese officers inspecting Battery Grubbs after the surrender of 1942.
Photo (above): Gun No. 1 is sandbagged as a shelter and its rear end and breach are covered by what looks like tarpaulin. Gun No. 1, even before wartime, had a mechanical defect which restricted its use
Photo (above): Gun No. 2 is not sandbagged or covered.
Photo (above): Notice that gun No. 2 has its breech block removed and that both guns are still emplaced in their carriages during surrender.
As EXO is so fond of saying, "The thick plottens..."
