MATILDA TANKS ON CRETE

During the battle for Crete, which lasted from May 20 to June 1, 1941, the British, Dominion and Greek forces defending the island had very little armoured support. Jeffrey Plowman, Michael Grieve and Mark Wilson tell the story of how six and eventually nine Matilda Mk II tanks were used to defend this key strategic position in the eastern Mediterranean

WELLINGTON’S WWII HARBOUR DEFENCES It is not often that an author contributes two articles to the same issue but Jeff Plowman gains the honour with his story on the wartime defences of Wellington harbour. The capital of new Zealand, with its large shielded bay, constituted one of the country’s five designated Fortress Areas and was therefore fitted out with a whole series of coastal gun batteries, anti-aircraft batteries and radar stations, most of them on the Miramar peninsula at the entrance to the harbour. Although the defences were never put to the test, and few of the guns ever fired a shot in anger, many of the installations remain virtually intact today, offering perfect Then and Now opportunities.
