It is built into the shelter of the hill however; it shows signs of artillery strikes from both German and British guns. The bunker was occupied by the Germans following their spring offensive in April 1918. It was a headquarters for the 14th Australian Infantry Brigade as well as the 54th and 55th Australian Battalions.
