	Taunton Stop Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The stop line was designed "to stop an enemy's advance from the west and in particular a rapid advance supported by armoured fighting vehicles (up to the size of a German medium tank) which may have broken through the forward defences."
		The innermost and longest was the GHQ Line.
		To reinforce the line and deny access to the major east-west routes that passed through the line, in 1941 12 "Defensive Islands" were added to the line.

	GHQ Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The GHQ Line (General Headquarters Line) was a defence line built in the United Kingdom during World War II to contain an expected German invasion.
		Over 50 defensive lines were constructed around England, the GHQ Line being the longest and most important, designed to protect London and the industrial heart of England.
		The GHQ Line ran from the northern end of the Taunton Stop Line near Highbridge in Somerset, along the River Brue and the Kennet and Avon Canal to Reading, around the south of London south of Guildford and Aldershot, to Canvey Island and Great Chesterford in Essex, before heading north to end in Yorkshire.

		In spring the German army made further attacks in the Soviet Union, but appeared to be unable to choose between a direct attack on Moscow and the capture of the Caucasian oilfields.
		Moscow was again spared, and at the end of 1942 the Soviets succeeded in smashing the Axis' front lines in the south, and surrounding the German 6th Army in the Battle of Stalingrad (Hero City).
		In the spring the Wehrmacht was able to restore the front line and make a successful riposte in the Second Battle of Kharkov, but their offensive at the massive Battle of Kursk (July 1943) was so unsuccessful that the Red Army were able to counterattack and regain the ground previously lost.

		In June 1940, at a meeting in the County Hotel, Taunton, between various building firms and the Army, the decision was taken to commence work immediately on the Taunton Stop Line, a continuous anti-tank obstacle that would stretch from the north coast of Somerset down to Seaton in Devon.
		The defensive structures along the Stop Line were built by private contractors and Army personnel, with absolute priority being given to the supply of building materials.
		The purpose was to delay enemy armoured vehicles, which might land further to the south-west on the beaches of Devon or Cornwall, in their advance north-eastward toward Bristol and the Midlands, long enough at any given point along the Stop Line for mobile units of the Army to arrive and deal with the incursion.

		Within it we were able to discern a number of individual posts as indicated, the rest of the line was simply fl earth and charcoal.
		This was sufficient to show that the ends of the large posts were set against the back edge of the trench which was then refilled, probably leaving an embankment on the outside of the walls.
		The gaps may have been portions that did not burn and were later pulled down and removed; this eliminated the trench in that area and left no trace of the posts.

		His introductory talk explained the Line's aims and structure: it ran between the estuaries of the Parrett and the Axe, using rivers, canals, railways and scarped slopes to delay an enemy which had landed in 1940 in Devon or Cornwall.
		The Line was manned by 18,000 men of the Regular Army (rather than Home Guards)—relatively few for such a long front—with Headquarters at Glastonbury and Yeovil.
		The walk in the afternoon was most instructive, informed both by the morning talk and by the fullest of explanations in the field, especially the putting into context and explanation of the way the Stop Line was expected to work: thus, why it was arranged on the ground as it was.
