Damaged Log Blockhouse
Image
A damaged blockhouse constructed with logs. In the distance are more buildings. It appears the roof of the fortification has sustained some damage and logs used to construct the fortification have been strewn about. A British soldier is standing guard outside the fortification, holding a Berthier Fusil Mle 1907/15, a French built bolt-action rifle.
