Done. Given the other thread running here this is perfectly appropriate. Hill 60 played a significant battle in the campaign in The Salient. The thought of it being bulldozed to make way for housing is appalling. It was created from the spall from the railway line that runs beneath it and the main German bunker that still exists there had to be modified by the Allies when the hill was eventually taken so that the entrance door was now not facing the enemy!
