Norfolk Pill-Boxes

[bigduke6]

I can speak about some of these stories...they are most likely just that. We have a series of bunkers here in our city and the surrounding area. When I joined the regular army the reservists were FULL of stories about the bunkers below our feet being full of things. They had stories about magic secret entrances that only the natives knew about and had been seen coming and going with brand new rifles. I was young and wanted a piece of this action so I spent my off time searching. All bunker entrances had filled with water through time so only the higher rooms were dry. Using the air vents to access found absolutely nothing. If I'd taken a broom with me I doubt I could even have swept up a cup of dust. The more the doors were secured, the bigger the stories of loot. Nothing...

No matter what the papers said...I'd have to see it to believe, we all know how tight fisted the Gov't is about leaving stuff without a keeper. Did you see pics Peter?

That applies to most bunkers Jim, but the ones Gil and Peter mention are the Secret Army ones, small groups that were to form underground cells and had a small weapon cache etc. The fact that it was so secret is why there are still a few that remain undiscovered.

I'm familiar with those stories...

And we didn't have the Nazis standing on our doormat either.
