In the year 1984 at the Brickworks, Zonnebeke, Flanders there was discovered an original WW1 underground bunker.
Thought to be Australian, the bunker could accommodate up to 120 men in three tiers of bunks plus an officers quarters. These photos were taken shortly after the bunker was opened to the public. Sadly it has now completely collapsed and is no more.
I understand that the two shells were still live and were disposed of by the Belgian Army. (Norman) |
