Home Security - Bougainville Style

BOUGAINVILLE

Well-Known Member
Home Security - Bougainville Style!!!!!!!!

Along the coastline in front of the former Japanese airfield at Kahili, Buin, South Bougainville are dotted a long line of pill boxes. Some concrete and others made of armour plate. Two of the concrete pill boxes that I saw were used as house foundations.

Shown also are a few photos inside one of the pill boxes.

At Kangu Point Jetty there are two huge Japanese naval guns. One of these has been skillfully used as a house foundation.

I will be posting more photos in a separate post.

Cheers,
Robert
