Musée du Fort d'Aubin - Neufchâteau
"Military and Red-Cross paraphernalia of the two World Wars. The visible
part of the Fort of Aubin-Neufchâteau is a triangular shaped bushy hill.
Each side measures about 300 meters. The central formation is fitted out
with a combat block at each corner. The North and South-East corners each
have a tower block. The South-West corner, as well as the entrance of the
structure, have an infantry block. At the core of the configuration, a
mortar block with three portholes assures the defense against close
attack. The central formation is surrounded by a dry ditch of some 12-15
meters wide and by a counterscarp wall of some 4-6 meters high. Ditch 1-3
is buffeted by a simple coffer equipped with a 47 canon, a Maxim
machine-gun, a 30 cm projector and an automatic rifle. Ditches 2-1 and 2-3
are protected by a double coffer equipped with two 47 canons, two Maxim
machine-guns, two 30 cm projectors and two automatic rifles for the
defense of the block. In the middle of the steep slope 3-1 is the foul air
evacuation block. Midway up is a small security foul air evacuation block.
Facing the entrance, above the counterscarp wall, the block is equipped
with two cupolas for a 47 canon and a cupola with two portholes for a 30
cm projector."
