翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Grain Wing Battery ： ウィキペディア英語版 Grain Wing Battery Grain Wing Battery is a former gun battery located just east of the village of Grain, Kent at the confluence of the Rivers Thames and Medway. It supported two existing and adjacent artillery batteries at Grain Fort and Dummy Battery, overlapping its arc of fire with Grain Tower just offshore and with Garrison Point Fort on the Isle of Sheppey across the other side of the Medway. The battery consisted of an earthwork with several gun emplacements. It was only in use as a battery for a few years after its completion in 1895, though its interior continued to be occupied by Army buildings. It was abandoned in 1956 and its remains were demolished and infilled a few years later. The site is now part of a coastal park owned by the local council. ==Strategic context and construction== A number of forts and batteries had been built in the vicinity during the preceding forty years, initially in response to a perceived threat from France and subsequently upgraded to deter German naval attacks on the military and commercial installations along the Thames and Medway. The battery was the last of the fortifications to be constructed at the mouth of the Medway and was intended to support and supplement the firepower of Grain Fort to the north and Dummy Battery to the south. It was situated alongside a military road that linked Grain Fort to Dummy Battery. The battery consisted of four gun emplacements on a lozenge-shaped earthen mound with a rectangular hollow at its centre and a gently sloping glacis to the front, taking advantage of the terrain to provide maximum concealment. The emplacements were lined up along the forward rampart with magazines and detachment shelters located below. The ramparts were surrounded by a ditch within which was an unclimbable fence. Range finder positions were constructed on the ends of the ramparts 〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Heritage List for England: Coastal artillery defences on the Isle of Grain, immediately east and south east of Grain village )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grain Wing Battery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
