Full Record - Hempstead Stokes Mortar Position (PRN: 8259)

Location
PRN	8259
Site or location name	Hempstead Stokes Mortar Position
Summary
Description	Site of Stokes Gun Position according to a military map of First World War defences in North Norfolk. The Stokes Mortar, referred to at the time as the 'Stokes Gun', was introduced into service towards the end of 1916 and had a maximum range of 800yds (731m). The mortar was often emplaced in a simple earthwork known as a 'pit'. In this location the Mortar position would have been able to bring down fire onto the stretch of the beach to the North/East, and the ground between the beach head and this position. The map on which this defence work is recorded dates from 1918, this emplacement may have been part of the wider defences constructed in the area during 1916. The emplacement is designated 'No.6 S.G. 11', possibly referring to the unit that manned this position. Located on private property. Site not visited; further archive research and field work may reveal more about this defence site. Map reproduced by kind permission of the map's owner, Mr. J. Hall.
