Casemate de la Drève St. Antoine: one of the casemates that had to defend the Forêt de Raismes. They were built after political discussions in the parlament, but the casemates had little strategic value. When the Engineers reinforced the area in the later half of the thirties they constructed the new casemates about 1 km in front of the forest. However when this line fell in May 1940 the casemates in the forest were the theater of fierce fightings. Two crew members of this casemate were killed.
