Map

World War Two anti-aircraft artillery given this grid reference in (S1).
Is this accurate?
D. Gurney (NLA) 28 January 1997.

This would seem to be meant for the Gorleston Links battery shown in (S2) on map, and mentioned as at Warren Farm on
Gorleston Golf Links. Comparing present day map with older maps it may well be that the grid reference given is slightly too far north, but the exact location cannot be worked out from (S2).
