WPMILHIST Assessment[edit]

Could probably benefit from expansion. Also, insufficient references in the opening sentences to timing. Second sentence states they were built in response to what the Japanese were building "at the time", but no years are mentioned until a full paragraph later, and no direct explicit mention either of World War II, Pacific War, etc. "Building in response to the Japanese" implies the timing quite strongly, as does the style & quality of the photo, but this sort of thing needs to be explicit.
