More than 30 wooden posts – the last remaining of more than 3,000 posts that once stretched from La Pulente to L’Etacq – have been revealed by changing sand levels in the beach below the bunker at La Carrière, and between Le Braye and La Pulente slips.
Tony Pike of the Channel Islands Occupation Society says the posts have not been so prominent in many years and that they are usually just small stumps in the sand.
‘The Germans set them in place in staggered rows from four- to five-feet deep and after the war they were removed or snapped off to the level of the sand by driving a bulldozer along the beach,’ he said.
