ISOLA - Forward Post Isola
AP Isola was seriously attacked by the Italians in 1940. The cloche on block 4 was badly damaged by the battering. Sadly this is very hard to see in the woods, but it is there
Built in 1931, Isola consisted of four blocks: a north entrance with one machine gun, an emergency exit, a machine gun casemate and an observation block with an AP cloche.
