R610

Details

The Tobruk defence.
This is the only outward defence the bunker has, the machine-gun could fire 360degrees and also as an anti-aircraft gun, so very useful all around. Also either through a speaking tube or a field telephone the soldier in the Tobruk could spot for mortar fire and be the eyes of the bunkers crew.

Another R501 group shelter. This one has been sunk in more than the last R501 presumably because it is in a more vulnerable position.
