Description

This research is automated and may contain errors.

15/11/2000 The Lanteglos Auxiliary Unit patrol built their own underground operational base. This has long since disappeared. The bunker was built nissen hut style, and measured about 18ft x 10ft. The Patrol dug a large pit, built the nissen hut in it, and then buried it. A camouflaged entrance in the form of a hatch, with weights attached to assist opening and closing, was added.

There was no emergency exit. Various explosives, fuses, and time pencils were stored in the bunker, but it was not used for accommodation purposes. (Information supplied by Mr. Ronald Libby of Carne Farm, Lanteglos by Fowey).
