Hi!
The F in the circle points to Feuerkampfgerate, Feuerkampf erprobung.
Feuerkampgerate, could be fire extingers, a waterhose or even sand, see the pictures above.
Feuerkampferpobestelle, could be checking point for water pressure, checking the conditions of the equipment.
See the text in the first picture.

Best regards,
Bertill.

F= feuerlöscher, in Holland alot of bunkers had it

Sometimes the steel mount for the feuerlöscher is still present near the F, like on the picture of Zandvoortse bunkerploeg

Yes, I know I have seen them before with the Haagse Bunker Ploeg.
The "F" stands for "Feuerkampfgerate"

Best regards,
Bertill.
