More Information

Very few places in the world can boast such a comprehensive military history all in one place! Our modern military history dates back to the 13th century and has been reflected in our history every century since! Even before that, we know that there were turbulent times and the Island was frequently raided and plundered. Fortifications date from the Bronze and Iron Ages, to WW2 German and Cold War bunkers.

The means of defence of the Island changed over time to match the development in weapons and transport, but often military engineers used the same positions time and again in subsequent centuries. The decision taken from the 13th century by English kings to hold and defend the Channel Islands at all costs, has shaped how Jersey and the other Channel Islands have developed over the last 800 years; their laws, customs, culture and language, as well as changes to the physical landscape can all be said to be a consequence of that resolute stance. There is no other factor which has been so decisive except the Nazi Occupation!!
