Situated to the South-East of the site are the Battle Head Quarters.
It was a shame each room contained about 8" of water!

The HQ with built in pill box to the left.

Somewhat late reply. The battle headquarters dowan't have a 'built in pillbox'. The concrete topped room is the observation cupola and not used for defence of the bhq itself.
