Oliver Hill Battery - Accommodation
Unidentified Concrete Foundations
We are yet to identify what this big foundations were for, with a smaller rectangular one on the northern side. This is located at the rear of the accommodation block.
​
Big shoutout to Sandra Playle who identified the engraving on the small foundations for us. It's believed to read E. Kutzer, being that of WX30727 Ernest Robert Kutzer.
​
A big thankyou to everyone on the Abandoned Western Australia Facebook page who also helped!
In loving memory of
Lance Sergent Ernest 'Ernie' Kutzer
