Description: | One of the four 170 mm. guns of Oldenburg Battery at Raversyde behind the Ostend-Nieuport Road. Each gun emplacement was adjacent to the shelters for ammunition and personnel built to look like a small farm or villa. These shelters, solidly constructed with concrete and covered over by a false roof and a screen of branches hiding the shield of each gun, made it easy to mistake the battery for a row of houses.
