Devons Post

Devons Post is in section ‘C’ and sited on the north-eastern and very little has changed in the last century.

A map drawn by Lieutenant Reade of the Kings Royal Rifles shows that the Post was held by the 60^th Rifles from January 1900 and a note in Colonel Parks diary on 19^th December talks of the Devons changing places with the Liverpools closer to town. This move undoubtedly assisted the regiment when they were called upon to proceed at the double to Wagon Hill on the 6^th January where they, arguably, saved the town. The Post had 2 Maxim-Nordenfeldts.
