Sir Charles Orr's Memoirs Volume 1


Palmerston Fort


This particular picture is of the fort just off the breakwater at Plymouth which was built at exactly the same time and to the same specifications as those off Portsmouth. This picture clearly shows the black and white chequered paint scheme described by Charles to camouflage the location of the guns.
