Bunker SB F Becco

Bunker SB F is located at the edge of the road in a meadow. 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).

The bunker was equipped with a machine gun. The walls of the bunker are 1.3 meters thick on all sides, of reinforced concrete.

The outer door has disappeared. Because the entrance to the bunker contained some 'eterniet' corrugated sheets (containing asbestos), entering the bunker was refrained.

As with most bunkers, after the war when the bunkers had lost their strategic value, the metal hatches 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.
