Tunnel

Voted 10/10

Is this a short tunnel going to the other side of the mountain? What is the point of having such a tunnel?

The positions themselves were on the exposed southern side. In case of a shell attack they could easily retreat to the safe north. But the artillery wasn't that accurate at that time and I doubt that it even reached that far.
