Located southwest of Maisy, at a place called La Martinière, this army battery was composed of four 105-mm guns. Just before D-Day, three of these guns were placed in casemates, the last one remaining in its open-air pit.
 

Like its neighbour at Les Perruques, the Martinière battery could rake the Veys Bay and the eastern base of the Cotentin with its fire.

         Handicapped by the short range of its guns, however, it did not play a major role on June 6^th 1944.
