English: The Royal Navy during the Second World War Marines man "island forts" to protect Britain’s east coast shipping in the north sea from low flying enemy aircraft. These forts are commissioned as HM ships and are called after the sands on which they stand. Here four enemy aircraft destroyed by SUNK HEAD Fort's guns are recorded by swastikas on the side of the "Bridge". The fourth one is being painted on by a member of the fort's crew. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
