Listing Type : Land Battery
Location : Malta
There is believed to be a Q.F. emplacement on the South East flank of St Paul Bastion. This Q.F. position is independent of the 64-pdr MLR emplacement on the salient of St Paul Bastion.
This emplacement is a small platform constructed of dressed stone with an ammunition recess cut into the adjacent wall. There is a circular hold fast on the top, but this would appear to be for a World War 2 anti-aircraft machine gun. The original hold fast is believed to be covered by a new layer of concrete which can clearly be seen. It is assumed that a 6-pdr or 12-pdr Q.F. gun was mounted on this platform but no historic references have been found.
The entire position can be seen on the video.
