11 August 1943 Fortress telephone networks on Jersey Guernsey and Alderney

Permanent fortress cable planning in the Seventh Army area — 319th Infantry Division, Channel Islands.

Alderney: the fortress network has been developed; some fortress telephone exchanges are still missing. Guernsey: completed; 10 km of cabling within resistance nests and strongpoints remains to be installed. Jersey: the fortress network is complete; 3 km of cabling within resistance nests and strongpoints remains to be installed.

Editorial note: The broader cable totals at the foot of the source concern the Army area, not the islands alone.
