Lo24 Le Loc'h, Guidel Plage

 

Wn Lo24 covers all in the picture, unfortunately in 2002 I had no real idea what was here. I started looking at the small promontory which included the Sk, R693, R667 & three tobruk's. I only found two Tobruk's the R693 & the R667.

Standing on the R667 casemate looking away from Wn Lo24.

The Tobruk is a Vf58c standard type where eight were used her at Lo24 and many hundreds all along the Atlantikwall and were still being built along the German border in 1944/5 as a last ditch defence.

What is a flash spotting post??? "Flash spotting involved the observation of the flashes from enemy guns to locate their position. It was only effective when all observers concentrated on the one target at the same time." Great War Forum.

The rear entrance has now been filled in.
