Battle of Britain: Observer Corps (WiP 2)
Another often neglected arm of service during the Battle of Britain, the volunteers of the observer corps were critical to the reporting of enemy aircraft after they crossed the coast and were no longer tracked by radar. They were often sited in inhospitable locations, like this post. Constructed of earth walls reinforces with wooden poles, corrugated sheeting and sandbags, with tarpaulin to cover the observer apparatus when the post wasn't in use.
