Here the GFM (Guet and FM) is equipped with a épiscope (on the right) and a FM (on the left).
The épiscope is a tight apparatus which allows the observation without fear to receive a ball. Here the épiscope is photographed interior of the GFM.
In 1940 certain men removed the épiscopes, inter alia because of the mist which reduced their observation fields. This reconstitution illustrates the danger of such a practice.

- to prohibit any approach of the crenels;
- to collect engraved them frontage, in the event of bombardment, and to thus prevent the obstruction of the doors, crenels and openings of ventilation.
