Bofors Gun Emplacement at the former Bordon Camp is a Second World War defensive installation located in Hampshire. The emplacement was constructed to mount a Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun, a Swedish-designed weapon widely adopted by British forces for air defence during the 1939-1945 conflict. The site preserves evidence of the military infrastructure developed at Bordon Camp, which served as an important training and operational base during wartime. The surviving structure represents the type of temporary but substantial fortification built across Britain to counter the threat of aerial attack.
