Been fighting through the jungle up there with my friends yesterday, but failed to locate it.

It is quite spread out amongst the vegetation mainly in the area of the map marker. Several shelters, two gun pits and other assorted buildings. The AALMG position is at the top of the gun ramp on the Parkview side, and is well separated from most of the other parts of the Bty.

Any detailed map?

Is the construction in my photo part of the battery?

Sorry, no detailed map. I'll upload a scan of my notes separately once I sort it out. Your photo may be part of the battery.

The entrance like structure is not far from the end of a low wall, only the top of the latter can be seen now. Further ahead of the low wall is a small ditch, much hidden under fallen leaves.

The low wall is just above the workmen stairs ...
