Roseau, Dominica: the British garrison at Morne Bruce was established in the 18th century as a military outpost to protect the colony from potential attacks, particularly from the French. Perched on a hill overlooking the capital and the coastline, the site offered a commanding view of Roseau Bay, making it an ideal location for monitoring and defense. The garrison included barracks, storage facilities, and fortifications, some remnants of which are still visible today. Morne Bruce remains a significant historical site, preserving elements of Dominica's colonial past while offering visitors insights into the island’s military history and its role in the broader Caribbean conflicts of the colonial era.

Christmas Island: the WWII gun emplacement at Smith's Point on Christmas Island, an Australian external territory in the Indian Ocean, is a heritage-listed coastal defense structure built prior to the war to house a 6-inch naval gun, manufactured in 1900 and installed in 1940 to protect the island's phosphate loading facilities at Flying Fish Cove. The emplacement includes ammunition bunkers, an observation post, and a ranging station, and it was fired once in February 1942 in an unsuccessful attempt to engage a Japanese submarine that had attacked a nearby vessel. In March 1942, on the eve of the Japanese invasion, Indian troops in the garrison mutinied, killing several British officers including the five artillerymen at the site, whose bodies were disposed of over nearby cliffs, leading to the island's surrender and occupation by Japanese forces until the war's end.
