Connaught Battery
Connaught Battery is a World War I era harbour defence battery located north of York Redoubt at Ferguson's Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada. It took its name from the then Governor General of Canada, the Duke of Connaught,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=96f8fc5a-6c7d-4491-8a7a-2e468e675e81 )〕 who was Queen Victoria's third son.
==Construction==
Built between 1912 and 1917 the battery was a part of Halifax Harbour's larger ''Defense Complex'', which included other fortifications such as Fort George (Citadel Hill). Connaught Battery was the only new structure built by the military after 1905, with a grand total area of 2.5 hectares and a floor space of 447 sq. metres.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/dfrp-rbif/pn-nb/52106-eng.aspx )〕
Halifax Harbour has always had a strategic and commercial importance, even since colonial times and was always a well-fortified location. During World War II it became a training ground for Canadian troops before deployment, it was then armed with three 4.7-inch quick-firing guns.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.uer.ca/locations/show.asp?locid=27009 )〕
