Seadog Posted 12 July , 2013 Share Posted 12 July , 2013 As I am sure you mean the 7th June 1917 and the Battle of Messines in Belgium perhaps this slide show will be of interest: GWF - The Underground War http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=189857 Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towisuk Posted 12 July , 2013 Share Posted 12 July , 2013 How come I missed that topic Norman......nice one....well done! regards Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted 12 July , 2013 Share Posted 12 July , 2013 Thanks for looking Tom, I must admit that I find the subject of the war underground chilling and yet an absolutely compelling subject for study. The fact that so many of the mine craters still exist certainly enhances any trip to Flanders. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
