History Tour Part 2










David and I started at Fort Grey, which is now a shipwreck museum.  Then we visited Pleinmont, with the French gun and the iconic rangefinder tower.  Then a gun casemate with a recreation of occupation life for the Germans.  All of the fortifications had a fear of gas attack and had filtration systems.  The signs also say 'No light when the door is open.'  The gunpowder charges are to the right of the gun - the shells were separate items, and gun (105mm) and ammunition were French.
