Mulberry B

Mary of Exeter, heroic British carrier pidgeon, awarded the Dicken Medal for her war service, November 1945. Mary survived a number of scrapes in her message-carrying duties, including injury believed to have been inflicted by German anti-carrier pidgeon hawks over the Pas-de-Calais. Strange, but true. JR.

Dove of War.

A somewhat less tidy Blacker Bombard fixed mount firing pit, this one manned by members of the Ixworth, Suffolk Home Guard.  The pits varied a bit, depending on the preferences or competence of the local Home Guard; the concrete pillar at the middle was pretty standard.  Best regards, JR.
