  • The Jersey Heritage Answersheet
    THE JERSEY HERITAGE Monuments Quiz ANSWERSHEET 1 Seymour Tower, Grouville Seymour Tower was built in 1782, 1¼ miles offshore in the south-east corner of the Island. Jersey’s huge tidal range means that the tower occupies the far point which dries out at low tide and was therefore a possible landing place for invading troops. The tower is defended by musket loopholes in the walls and a gun battery at its base. It could also provide early warning of any impending attack to sentries posted along the shore. 2 Faldouet Dolmen, St Martin This megalithic monument is also known as La Pouquelaye de Faldouët - pouquelaye meaning ‘fairy stones’ in Jersey. It is a passage grave built in the middle Neolithic period, around 4000 BC, the main stones transported here from a variety of places up to three miles away. Human remains were found here along with finds such as pottery vessels and polished stone axes. 3 Cold War Bunker, St Helier A German World War II bunker adapted for use during the Cold War as Jersey’s Civil Emergency Centre and Nuclear Monitoring Station. The building includes a large operations room and BBC studio. 4 Statue of King George V in Howard Davis Park Bronze statue of King George V wearing the robes of the Sovereign of the Garter. Watchtower, La Coupe Point, St Martin 5 On the highest point of the headland is a small watchtower built in the early 19th century and used by the Royal Navy as a lookout post during the Napoleonic wars. It is sturdily constructed of mixed stone rubble with a circular plan and domed top in brick.

    MEDIA RELEASE INTERNATIONAL LAUNCH EVENT OF THE LIBERATION ROUTE EUROPE HIKING TRAILS A unique international trail initiative to keep the memory of WWII alive Brussels, 15 July 2021 – The LRE Foundation is happy to announce the next evolution of the Liberation Route Europe, a certified Council of Europe Cultural Route connecting places and people that mark Europe’s liberation from occupation during World War II. The launch event will take place on 22 July at 3 pm CEST when the Foundation will present the brand new European-wide system of hiking trails along the Liberation Route Europe. Developed in collaboration with hiking associations across Europe, the new hiking trails link museums, memorials, cemeteries and historical sites along the Allied Forces’ advance in the last phase of WWII and aim to stretch for 10.000 km. The hiking experience is accompanied by the new Liberation Route Europe website and travel planner that allows the public to read and listen to many stories about WWII and plan their journey along the hiking trails. Rémi Praud, Managing Director of the LRE Foundation: “We are excited to launch this new system of hiking trails connecting regions, sites and historical places across Europe. These trails are a new meaningful, and sustainable way to experience the Liberation Route Europe. This is only the beginning. We are excited to expand to new regions and countries in the upcoming years.” On the morning of 22 July, the LRE Foundation, in collaboration with the Best Defence Foundation, will escort seven U.S. veterans who served in Germany in 1945 for a visit with press to the German-Russian Museum Berlin- Karlshorst.

  • The Guernsey Guns by Simon Hamon
    The Guernsey Guns By Simon Hamon Standing in a quiet formal garden in Guernsey, as a silent reminder to war, are two German 13.5cm field howitzers. Most people may simply pass them by as they drive or walk past Victoria Tower and Gardens in St Peter Port. Surprisingly these two pieces of artillery were not left over from the German Occupation of the Islands in the 1940s, but had been presented to Guernsey after the Great War. Even as the Battle of the Somme was raging in France, the question of how the authorities were going to deal with trophies and relics seized from the enemy was being raised. During a debate in parliament on the 31st July, 1916, the MP for Newington West, James Gilbert, asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was ‘… the intention of the War Office to exhibit in London any of the captured guns and trophies obtained during the recent advance by London and other regiments; and, if so, can he state when and where such an exhibition will be held’. This question was followed by a further one from Sir Archibald Williamson, the MP for Elginshire and Nairnshire. Also directing his enquiry at the Secretary of State for War, Williamson asked whether ‘… the distinguished services of Highland regiments [would be recognised] by placing some of the captured German guns in the North of Scotland; and whether he will place one in Cooper Park, Elgin?’ In both cases the advice given was that both MPs should direct their requests to the Army Commander of the District in which their constituencies lay.
