- Pillbox - shellproof (type FW3/28A): DoB ID: S0011911 To the left of the blocked embrasure of the gun emplacement, is the front facing loophole of the separate chamber. This annex also contained two other infantry positions covering the left hand side and the rear. The single infantry loop on the right hand side was the only infantry position in the original type 28 before the type 28A was introduced. Its introduction enabled infantry to provide all round covering fire. Image
