Fort Susquehanna Posted April 6, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 6, 2017 Belonging to B Gere, of A Battery 261st Coast Artillery Regiment (Harbor Defense). Mr. Gere was a school teacher and librarian in Seaford, Delaware. He was activated with the 261st when they were called up in January 1941. The 261st occupied Fort DuPont and Fort Delaware in Delaware City, DE and Pea Patch Island in Delaware Bay, and also opened up Fort Miles which is now Cape Henlopen State Park.
