mebu Posted 5 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 5 December , 2005 Late summer 1917, after the battle, the bunker can be discerned amid the shell holes (at lower edge of water, between canal and rail embankment), the whole area is totally devastated.

mebu Posted 5 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 5 December , 2005 This is the remains of the bunker today (can't do exact match of original, taken from top of embankment, due to trees in way), the outline can easily be made out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
