54 Agat PBox.jpg

Description:Third of three views of the semi-circular reinforced concrete Japanese pillbox on the Agat beach. The exterior is painted green, but it was clearly visible from boats coming in. In view of its construction and its lack of concealment, it is assumed that it was constructed to draw fire from adjacent and better concealed emplacements. October 5, 1944.
