Bunker CS Remouchamps

This is all that remains above ground of this unknown bunker from the sector CS, Comblain-Sougné, at Remouchamps, (the number of this bunkers is unknown).

The sector is part of the 1st line of defense for the city of Liège, la Position Fortifiée de Liège 1 (PFL 1).

This was the last sector of the PFL 1. This sector ran west into sector Sougné-Becco (SB). Sector CS consisted of 31 bunkers to the south and west of the once planned but never built Fort de Sougné-Remouchamps.

The bunker is located at the edge of a trail in a forest plot and has a beautiful entrance equipped with two pillars made of hard stone.

Presumably, this is an observation bunker for the CS 25 bunker located higher up. From this position, targets could be relayed to the crew of bunker CS 25. This bunker did not have its own observation post.

The walls and ceiling of the bunkers from the PFL line were 1.3 meters thick reinforced concrete. They could withstand shelling with 150mm shells.
