Located inside the grounds of a school, we gained permission to access and photograph the outside of this relatively rare R638 bunker, a small ‘dressing station’ building once used as a medical facility.
Today the bunker provides a solid foundation for the school’s science block and the inside is no longer accessible, but it originally featured two entrances with six main rooms.
There was a reception area, a room for heating and ventilation, medical staff room, two wards, and a small operating theatre. In addition, there was a gas lock area and small Tobruk for observation.
