Hello "Bear"

Welcome to this Forum. Bunkers and pictures from The Channel Islands, sounds interesting. Have you seen under "Equipment" section - there are several bunker related topics.

Maybe you schould post this very interisting topic there ???

See: EUltimate Fortifications Tread" and others - maybe you can make your own:

"Bunkers in the Channel Islands" :D - That would be nice !!!

Again welcome, and please post any information and / or picture related to - Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney.

By the way, were there anything on Sark and Herm ???

Regards
Kurt

My Uncle lives in Jersey. When I was a youngster he used to take me to see all the old coastal fortifications. BRILLIANT!! Never found an old grenade though.
