CIOS Jersey

We are a non-political, voluntary organisation, dedicated to the preservation and recordal of all aspects of the German Occupation of Jersey during WW2

At an EGM of the unincorporated CIOS (Jersey) held on 14 April 2010 at Société Jersiaise, Members room, 7 Pier Road it was resolved to amend the rules of the Society and form a Company Limited by Guarantee to undertake all the activities of the unincorporated CIOS association except membership which remains the sole activity of the unincorporated Association known as the Channel Islands Occupation

Society (Jersey). The Company is a guarantee company with the maximum liability of its members limited to £1.00.

General information

The Society manage a number of Atlantic Wall fortifications which are open to the public for tours. Most are open on weekends in summer months, with guided tours available year-round. The Jersey Channel Islands Occupation Society's collection of Occupation ephemera, photographs, etc. was deposited at the Jersey Archive in September 2001. This has ensured the long-term preservation and security of the collection whilst being stored in the correct environmental conditions. Society members can now view the collection more easily in the comfortable reading rooms of the Jersey Archive. The CIOS collection catalogue can be accessed at the Jersey Hertiage Trust's website or by visiting Jersey Archive in Clarence Road, St Helier, Jersey (Tel: 01534 833333). Any of the fortifications under the ca\re of the CIOS can be visited year-round. Additionally, we have several bunkers which are not regularly opened to the public that we can take you to. These include the distinctive Marine Peilstände und Meßstellen (MP 3) Naval artillery direction and range-finding tower at Les Landes, St Ouen; the Type 609 Infantry Regimental Commander's bunker at Le Coin Varin, St Peter; plus the right-handed Jäger and 631 type casemate bunkers at Resistance Nest La Carriere, just south of Le Braye at St Ouen's Bay. To arrange a guided tour please book in advance with Ian Chatterley on +44 (0)1534 768 785
