WWII Improvised battery in Apleichau - a possible location (B) with a platform of unknown origin [????- ]

Submitted by tngan on Sun, 10/26/2008 - 04:26

Found this concrete structure right next to the gate to the base of the service reservoir. The roof is gone. I remember I read some article mentioning the defenders blew up the battery structures before they retreat.

Some other articles had mentioned the Aberdeen Battery had been an improvised one with two 4 inch guns.  Earlier before I went up the hill trying to look for traces of the remains of these, but I don't know what I've found has anything to do with them:

The marker shown above is just an approximate location.  The reading on my GPS logger for this location is Lat: 22.258278N Long: 114.168346E  If only we could input Longitude/Latitude information there.........   This bunker is very close to a Pillbox.  There is a concrete slap across the the Lady Clementi's Ride, which I think is for the land line for communication.

The marker above is just an approximate location.  My GPS logger reading for this is Lat 22.259720N Long 114.163607E  Don't know whether there are tunnels linking this one with the other ones nearby.  There is also a concrete water tank at the opposite side of the road.  Don't know whether it has anything to do with the bunkers nearby.
