Bunker BV 17-2 Juslenville

This is Bunker BV 17-2 from de sector Becco-Vesdre (BV) of the 1st line of defense for de city of Liège, la Position Fortifiée de Liège (PFL 1).

The bunker is within 100 m. distance with bunker BV 17-1. The bunkers of sector BV are part of the nearbij fort Tancrémont.

The bunker is located at a backyard of a private plot. The bunker is used by two sheep as night shelter. The gunopening can not be seen due to the groundwall to allow the sheep to practise their climbing skills. The iron door is missing. All the iron on the bunkers (shutters and doors) were sold as scrap after the war when the bunkers were no longer in use for de defense of Belgium.

(With permission ! of the owner of the plot, who was by chance was outside feeding the sheep, I was allowed to enter the plot and take some photographs at the plot itself. But only wiht great precaution for the sheep.)
