Dover young offenders a place I spent time at in 1996..not a proud moment in my life ,but it gave me a kick up the backside to do better in life.. Got out got a job and settled down with my wife and kids.. thanks for the video though. Mad seeing the place again after all these years.

Did they not present,aim and fire or was the rifle not accurate enough to aim?

Good question. I'll have to ask one of the rifle drill experts and see what they say.

The correct command pre 1881 was only "Present"... in this one command, the man raised the rifle, aligned the sights >and then< after three beats of quick time, pressed the trigger . After 1881, the command was broken down to two parts. "Present" saw the rifle raised and sights aligned, and "Fire" saw the man press the trigger. With the Martini, (this being a carbine version of it) the word both to initially load and then to 'reload' was "Ready"...

That video was taken by the late Roger Gill when we were exploring the place. Can confirm it was the East side of the MC and was accessed through the garden of the house in the South-East corner of the site. It was the only MC where both sides of the ditch were revetted in concrete.

@@palmerstonfortssociety8884 Forgot to mention, at the very end there is a brief view of the west end of the Gorge Casemates where a heating plant was installed when the Casemates and roofed over ditch were used as archive storage. Have some digitised copies of Roger's Videos around somewhere, he took them at all the surviving MC's except Halstead IIRC.

What an amazing video of Gilkicker fort finally uncovered The developers must be so proud of what they’ve achieved so far That no other developers have been able to achieve Now, it’s the good part for the developers to put their own stance on the project Can’t wait for the next video 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
