The Lost Beserah Pillbox

I finally found the lost Beserah Pillbox
after more than 6 visits searching for it
and it had already sunk into the Beserah River
only to be visible during low tide.
Also recorded are the position of two other pillbox
at Sungai Karang Pillbox no:2 and Batu Hitam Pillbox no:2
thus bringing the number of British WW2 Pillbox
recorded in Kuantan so far  to 20.

Nice sandy Beserah Beach.





The Sungai Karang Pillbox no:2 is about 300 meters before Swiss Garden Resort.



The Batu Hitam Pillbox no:2 is behind a house
about 100 meters before Pak Su Seafood
and it is below a cement fencing.

    Small Kucing,
    The British WW2 pillboxes are actually a hardened field defence bunker intended to protect Malaya from the Japanese invasion.They can be found in Kelantan,Pahang,Johor,Kedah and Penang.
