Hi Ric,

I don't think any gun emplacements were ever in our area, although the 
street in front of my house is "Old Fort Street".  I briefly explored the 
area 50 years ago, before our subdivision was laid out, and there were two 
areas that appeared to be eroded earth works.  The larger one was two blocks 
away from me, and the smaller was in the corner of my back yard, along what 
was at the time a country road. ( It runs into Moore County, home to 
Lynchburg and the Jack Daniels Distillery)  Tullahoma was more of a hospital 
area, with casualties from both sides buried in a local cemetary.
