KevinBattle Posted 9 April , 2012 Share Posted 9 April , 2012 Just a thought Steve, but a follow up of photos in Ireland might allow you to produce a book (or a song?) Longwy to Tipperary - boom boom.... exit stage left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 20 April , 2012 Share Posted 20 April , 2012 Having just returned from this area I just wanted to thank Steve for his info here and also off forum - these are very interesting battlefields that give a real flavour of the nature of the early 1914 engagements, and it's obvious they don't get many visitors, even from the French. Hope to go back again soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stands on the left in a field as you drive from Rouvrois sur Othain to Nouillonpont on the N18. It's marked on the IGN maps. As there were observation ballons in the area for the Duzey gun, I always wondered if it was for tethering a balloon but having climbed all over it, I'm not sure. In fact, I've not yet found anyone who can suggest a reason for it. Christina I've seen it being described as an unifinished bunker of the Maginot Line (WW2).
