For #meermittwoch this is Eastney beach in Portsmouth. The Grade II-listed structures are World War II anti-tank defences built in 1940. There are over 280 of these concrete cubes over 400 metres of ground.

#Photography #seawednesday #portsmouth #eastney #worldwarii #WorldWar2 #History #beach
We're standing on a shingle beach, looking down a shallow slope of the surface to where it meets the sea, and out to the horizon. It's a bright and sunny day with clouds over the distant horizon and a few patches of white in the blue sky above, but we can tell the sun is low, somewhere to the right out of view, and there's a coolness in the air. The sea is flat, breaking only slightly in a foaming line on the shingle. Our eyes are drawn to the structures on the beach between us and the sea. A few dozen cubes, a metre to each side, are arranged in a jagged line several metres apart. Some cubes are jutting in and up at angles so that no two cubes are quite aligned. This line of cubes is mostly exposed but we can see another one more deeply embedded in the shingle nearer the water. The shingle beach and the concrete of the cubes are all warm-toned and the low sun is casting deep and fairly long shadows towards and to the left of us. It feels quiet here, but fresh.

Late in WW2, a sailor aboard the heavy cruiser Admiral Scheer handles an HE 15cm secondary shell. Behind them are the propellant charges in long dark tubes.

Sgt. Rock by Joe Kubert, Deluxe Edition

In my formative comic book reading years, I generally found war comics more interesting than superheroes, and Kubert's work in that genre was outstanding.
This volume is a nostalgic treat.

Hardcover comic book collection with a 2-color cover illustration in black and OD#7 green. Sergeant Rock sits in a pile of building rubble, wearing a US Army uniform and helmet, with a belt of machine gun ammo slung over his shoulder, and holding a Thompson submachine gun in his right hand, pointing it away from the viewer. He is looking back at the viewer, a grimace on his face. His left hand is outstretched towards the viewer, fingers spread in "caution, stay back" gesture. Contents and credits page.
