In the immediate aftermath of the war, Force 135 of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps was tasked with clearing the remnants of the occupation from May 1945 to March 1946. This included the removal of 415 guns from Jersey, a mix of anti-aircraft and coastal defence artillery. While many of these weapons were disposed of by sinking them into the sea, 45 heavy guns were pushed over the cliffs of Jersey's northwest coast, creating a haunting site now known as the "gun graveyard.

 

Below is a list of these guns; 

Batterie Haesler, 4 x 15cm K18 field guns
Batterie Schiefflen, 4 x 15cm K18 field guns
Batterie Mackensen, 3 x 21cm Morser 18 howitzers

Batterie Ludendorff, 3 x 21cm Morser 18 howitzers
Batterie Hindenburg, 3 x 21cm Morser 18 howitzers

7 of the guns have been brought back up for display across the Channel Islands.
