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.
