PLEASE, no multi invitations, glitters or self promotion in your comments, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE for anyone to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks - NONE OF MY PICTURES ARE HDR.

 

Dry ditch at Fort Henry, we stopped here on the way to Toronto, Some of these shots (sets) have lots of interesting reading if you want. At the bottom is a Martello Tower called the West Tower.

 

Should the enemy manage to penetrate the first line of defence, namely, the guns of the fort, they would be confronted by the dry ditch, 40 feet wide and 30 feet deep. Enemy soldiers in the dry ditch would find themselves confronted by rifle fire from the fort's 302 rifle loopholes.
