mebu Posted 7 November , 2008 Share Posted 7 November , 2008 There was a forum suggestion a little while ago about Then and Now photos. I thought this a good idea. Was just putting a photo away when thought it may be of interest: While the Canadians are tackling the Canal Du Nord line in September 1918, they established an ADS in German shelters near Inchy, at the junction of the old Hindenburg Support Line and the Buissy Switch line, captured earlier on. In the photo German prisoners are carrying Canadian wounded back. One shelter remains today Regards, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warbuff1 Posted 7 November , 2008 Share Posted 7 November , 2008 Fantastic. Really capturured perfectly. And i wonder what stone is set into embankment? It can be seen on old photo too. Possibly remains of a bridge? Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mebu Posted 7 November , 2008 Author Share Posted 7 November , 2008 Hello Wayne, no it isn't a bridge abutment, it's a concrete bunker , there are 2 doors and windows, nowadays blocked up, evident. (perhaps I confused issue when I called it a shelter on the original post). Regards Peter PS for info.....i believe the bunker was lived in until the 1960s, after which the local authority did the bricking-in of the doors and windows.
