The aerial for the coast defence battery under construction at Llandudno

JC recounts 'As coast defence units are some of the oldest units, going back to sailing times.... they brought with them all their old-fashioned kit they had used when moving anything from ships, guns, etc. You will see in the photograph all the old-fashioned equipment we luckily had brought with us! It really was a work of art erecting it - luckily we had an old Seargent Major who had served in this line before and knew how to put all the pieces together!'
