Ahoj!
I vaguely remembered building coastal batteries on Malta. I managed to find that post!

QuoteMalta, mid October 1904

Der Malteser Beobachter

The rumours have been confirmed. The oversight of the previous overlords of the island is to be finally overcome. The Maddox Bay in the south east of the island and the approaches to La Valetta will now be covered by heavy batteries, each with a dozen guns of 9,4" calibr. The guns have been donated by the SMS Pola and SMS Wien Large Cruisers just paid off and scrapped in UKA ports. With the time needed to transport the guns and assorted equipment to Malta, to move them across the island and to install them in their positions (which need to be built as well), the whole project was to take abut one year.

Now, did I ever set anything up at Aden? Must search more ...
