Description
The ground floor, here the rooms of the troops are and the gunpowder storerooms. In total there where 888 soldiers manning this fort. I have to tell you that this part of the fort is in my back when i took the picture of the courtyard. So this is in the direct line of fire of the attackers. Conclusion: it was better to be an officer back then than a private. Maybe this is still true today.

I have no first hand knowledge but I think the officers have far easier lives than the enlisted soldiers
