This raid is the most striking instance of military valour and devotion to duty. We feel as though we must emphasize the glorious conduct of the British sailors and the best way is for us to oppose the straight forwardness of the British sailormen to the sly and underhanded methods of the Germans, who only feel apt to sink, without being seen, defenceless boats, thus bringing death on to harmless people. 3.—German battery “Deutschland” at Breedene. The battery “Deutschland” is situated near the Jacobinessen farm. _Armement_: Four 15 inch guns firing at 55 kilometers a shell 2 meters long. The charge was contained in a brass shell case. The tube was 17 meters 10 cm. long. _Gun crew_: Each gun was attended by 150 men, in other words the whole battery was 8 officers and 600 all ranks strong. _Observation-posts_: The main observation-post (concrete) was built in Albert’s Parc; auxiliary posts were connected to it by phones, such was the case for the one of the hotel Belle-Vue at Wenduyne, and the other called “Fulda” at Mariakerke. _Ammunition supply_: was done by railway. _Historical account_: The construction of the Deutschland battery was done piece by piece and began in the early part of September 1915. Belgian labour was requisitioned for that work, with Russian prisoners of war, the hands employed for that battery amounted to seven hundred that toiled months on end for it. The battery’s activity culminated in 1918, specially in May, going increasingly from the 1^{st} of June up to the 15^{th}, 16^{th}, 17^{th} of October 1918. After the last fire which occurred on the morning of the 17^{th} of October the German disabled the guns and left them few hours later, the battery was then captured by our boys, on their way for victory. 4.—German Battery “Tirpitz” at Ostend. _Armement_: Four 12 inch guns, firing at a range of 35 kilometers a shell weighing 375 kilos needing a charge of 103 kilos.
