Status: offline 		Towards the right-rear side of each mortar pit sits a small fire control shack. Here is a wood/metal protrusion in which wooden slots with pre-determined coordinates were slid out from the shack for the mortar crews to take their ques from. (talk about pre-digital age)

Status: offline 		The concrete structure that surrounds the front and sides of the mortar battery is hollowed out to provide a protected magazine. The metal rails in the ceiling are embedded steel beams used to hoist up and move the large mortar shells.

Status: offline 		The door may be sealed, but someone appears to have left a vent into the command post open from this sub-chamber of the mortar battery. You don't think the photographer would crawl into that dark hole there do you?
