Having an interest in World War Two archaeology and monuments, and researching such, I frequently find myself visiting the same monuments year on year and have done for many years now. As each year passes I see the slight, sometimes in-perceivable, changes in these sites; though sometimes a major event has occurred and a site has been transformed, or even sadly, destroyed, more often than not a feature has merely moved a centimeter or so. I noticed that today at this line of Anti tank Obstacles which extend into Poole harbour. Like everything in life you think has solidity or permanence, these wartime relics, over 70 years old are slowly slipping away; it makes you realize how much of the past we must have already lost.
