Gros Ouvrage Mont des Welches - France - October 2012

This report is a composite of pictures from our first and last visit here. We missed a few things last time and decided a re-visit was in order.

The construction of Ouvrage Mont des Welches was began in 1930 with the fort becoming operational in 1935, the fort successfully held off a German attack in June 1940. Ouvrage Mont des Welches was renovated to some degree in the 1950's and decommissioned in the 1970's.

More history here.

Visited with Rookinella.

So this one HAS been on fire after all... looks like it was a couple of them affected by it.

Yeah this has had a fire at some point, but it wasn't recent. It didn't smell of smoke in August...
