Bunker SB 10 La Reid

Bunker SB 10 is located in the La Reid Wood, along a forest path. The bunker belongs to sector Sougné-Becco (SB) of the 1st line of defense for the city of Liège, la Posistion Fortifiée de Liège 1, (PFL 1).

It a smaller bunker with one gun opening for a machine gun. The bunker is accessible. However, the access is below ground level. The steps that gave access to the door have been covered by mud and leaves over the years. Going down will work, but going up again?

As with most bunkers, after the war when the bunkers had lost their strategic value, the metal shutters and doors were removed and sold as scrap metal. It also happened that during the war the bunkers were stripped of iron by the Germans and melted down for other purposes. If cast-iron observation turrets were present, they were reused at the atlantikwal, among others.
