Battery Irwin and its two 3-inch guns, adjacent to Battery Parrott with its
90mm Anti-motor torpedo boat gun, proved to be a superior site to discuss
ordnance proper. The displays in a magazine room inside Battery Irwin included
6-inch, 10-inch and 16-inch munitions; powder cans and bags; fuses; primers;
on-carriage telescopic sights; and other ordnance related material (all inert).
CPL Winchell explains munitions to the public inside one of the magazine rooms
for Battery Irwin.
