A pair of Spigot Mortar's Emplacements positioned here along with a Pillbox to defend the river crossing into the city.
The Spigot Mortar or ''Blacker Bombard'' was invented by Lieutenant-Colonel Blacker with the aim of providing cheap and easily produced weapon after most of the British Army's Heavy Equipment had been lost at Dunkirk.
It fired a 20lb Fin-Stabilised High Explosive Mortar Bomb propelled by 'Black Powder' and had an effective range of 100 yards in its Anti-Tank Role and up to 450 yards when firing a lighter Anti-Personnel Bomb. It had one major drawback in that when the warhead hit its target, the fins would often fly backwards endangering the firing crew.
The Spigot Mortar was a weapon shunned by the Regular Army but was issued to the Home Guard in large numbers to protect bridges and other strategic locations. In its static defence role, the Mortar was mounted on a stainless steel pin (''Pintle'') set into a substantial base of reinforced concrete (''Pedestal'') this was in turn set within a camouflaged Weapons Pit to offer some protection to the three man gun crew. A portable mount was also available, but weighed around 350lb and took 3 men to move it.
This boy sleeps in all kinds of crazy positions. Usually he's face down with his little butt in the air.
At the end the mediocre Luftwaffe troops and the StuGs pull back. The Germans lost 4 full sections and several others-total of 46 men and a StuG.
The Brits had much fewer infantry casualties- 11 men and 1 Pla Ldr, a PIAT team and 2 Cromwells.
Historically, the German attack also petered out. Sgt Hollis received a Military Medal and Roderick the Military Cross. The appearance of the Hussars was the turning point in the game and in actuality.

I've never been able to accept cynicism for the human race. It's the laziest of all social attitudes, when someone expects to be disappointed by others and hence, they always are. The folks who tell you that "people suck" are not to be trusted. They want you to listen to their obvious self-hatred, whisper that you're "one of the good ones", then help them make a target of everyone else. Eventually, you'll end up in their sights as well. Since I spend the majority of my time alone, I'm periodically mistaken as feeling derision for – or at least, disinterest in – humanity. But I'd love you to know this simple truth: a person who hates people can't stand to be alone. True introverts are driven by love, for their hobbies, surroundings, and themselves. Without internal peace, a man alone is quick to self-destruct. All that anger over what's in the news, family troubles, career conflict – it has no application with no one to listen.
When you reach isolation, you can only be running toward or running away. If it's the latter, you'll soon look around and discover that you've got no more purpose than before. That's why most folks who try to live off the land fail so often. It's a struggle for the body either way, but wilderness will always reject you if there's weakness of heart. As for me, I prefer it as a dweller on the threshold. Far from sight each day, but back home with humanity by nightfall. It keeps the balance gentle, so I remember all the good in me without forgetting the goodness in others. I've learned to hold fast at that sometimes-perilous position. In some degree of separation, I learned what loving means. It's not about always being surrounded by others – but in keeping myself entirely open-hearted whenever I am.

Pattern: Free tutorial @ Pretty Modern
Comments: Great tutorial with very detailed instructions and pictures. I made one earlier in the year and I love the shape of it. This time around I left out the pull tabs because I couldn't seem to position them correctly last time. It looked very unfinished without some sort of adornment, so I thought I could make the fabric tape zipper pull from Elizabeth Hartmann's pattern but I was feeling too lazy! And then inspiration struck - I dug out some wooden beads from the bottom of my beads storage box and came up with my own zipper pull :-D
