    Marking on a WW1 Blockhaus

    Hello,
    I need you help to translate a marking on a WW1 Blockhaus in the North of France :


    The text is :
    "Allhier erbaut in Großer Not
    aus Lauter Angst vor'm
    934 Heldentag 1917
    MK19"

    Thanks
    Bertrand

    I think the last part of the text is"..aus Angst vor'm Helden[COLOR="Yellow"]tod[/COLOR

    (heroic death) ..."

      "Constructed allhere in great/huge distress for fear of - 934 - heroic death - 1917- MK 19"

          I would guess people may have been buried alive or killed there from an explosion etc? Is that possible.

              Hello,
              Sorry for the very late answer, I miss the last message.
              The blockhaus was located in the north of France, near Cambrai.
