Many Dutch Staghounds ended their lives as pilboxes around military airports.
For this, the Staghounds were stripped to bare hulls and the hull interior was "emptied" completely with a cutting torch.
The turret gun aperture was modified by welding in a heavy casting to mount a .50 Cal. machinegun.
The hull was dug in with the top deck on ground level.
After that concrete was poured around the hull.
Entrance was arranged by a door constructed in the rear of the hull and a underground tunnel leading to this door.

The photo shows one of the surviving T17E3 hull/turret assemblies, the only one I know of.
(From T17E1 hull/turret assemblies there are more survivors).
