We skip two bunkers which are totally destroyed, one double MG-stand and one double observationbunker like above. Both are in real bad shape and a waste of the bandwith for the forum.
next intact bunker is another beauty, this is a double MG-stand with in the middle an observationroom with direct observationslits. coords are 49°31'1.60"N 3°24'1.40"O
Thisone is measured but i still need to drawn it someday
Underneath a selection of pictures, almost took 100+ photo's of this beauty, selected it down to 31 pictures filled with details.

Re: Brancourt-Stellung (1914-1918)
I hope you all enjoy our regelbau predecessors. You often see elements in those stellungsbau-bunkers which can found in the later regelbauten. There is also a bit of typologie in those structures of ww1, as each sector have their own typology of bunkers which where build more than once.
The beginning of the regelbau!

Those wooden elements inside the tunnels look like Schurzholzrahmen, still in use in WW2.
