Hi,

Some photos taken from an artical by Terry Gander published in C.I.O.S. Occupation Review Nr.38.

3 such 8.8cm S.K.C./35 U guns were removed from the battle damaged and layed up minesweepers M 4610 & M 4615 as well as the patorl boat VP 203 which were in st. Peter Port Harbour, Guernsey. The 3 x 8.8cm guns were installed on Little Sark to form the main armament of Batterie Klein-Sark or Marine Batterie 5 and were under the control of MAA 604 with its HQ on guernsey. The battery was manned by the crew from VP 203 and was intended to provide extra cover for shipping moving between Jersey and Guernsey. The battery was combat ready on 9th October 1944.

Regards,
Malcolm :milwink:
