"MIRI: A seven metre high tunnel, extending for 40 metres from one end to the other, has been found at the foot of Canada Hill. The short tunnel, believed to be a bunker, was probably a relic from the Japanese occupation during World War II."

Tunnel believed from WWII found

"Unlike tunnels such as those at Gibraltar, Singapore, or Corregidor island in Manila Bay in the Phillipines, which were mostly designed to withstand extended naval bombardment, the key threat to the Matsushiro tunnels was precision bombing."
