Protegint el turó / Hillock bunker
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Al estiu i tardor del 1938, les forces republicanes feren una considerable i totalment desaprofitada tasca de fortificació de la reraguarda del front del Segre. Es planificaren 6 linies de defensa, però només es completaren parcialment la L1 i la L2.
Entre Lleida i Alcoletge, cap al lloc conegut com Torre Balagueró, es troba una interesant posició fortificada amb dos bunquers en els extrems i diverses trinxeres comunicant-los.
Foto presa amb una Graflex Anniversary Speed Graphic de la USAAF (Ground Camera C-3), fabricada el 1944 i que potser serví amb les unitats aeries americanes a Europa o el Pacific; objectiu Kodak Ektar f4.7 127mm fabricat el 1941; pelicula Ilford FP4+ 125, revelada amb HC110.

===============================================
In the summer and autumn of 1938, during the spanish Civil War, the Republican forces made a considerable and totally misused task of fortification of the rearguard areas of the Segre front. Six lines of defense were planned, but only the L1 and L2 were partially completed.
North of Lleida, towards Alcoletge, lays a small hill above the Segre river, wich retains most of it's frontline (L1) fortifications. It has ca couple of MG bunkers at the corners and several trenches between them.
Picture taken with a Graflex Anniversary Speed Graphic used by the USAAF (Ground Camera C-3), produced in 1944 and which perhaps served with American air units in Europe or the Pacific; Kodak Ektar f4.7 127mm lens, made in 1941; Ilford FP4 + 125 film, developed with HC110.
