I find drone shots particularly fascinating when you look straight down into the tops of trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew pugh Posted 27 June , 2018 Author Share Posted 27 June , 2018 Hi Steve Thanks for that lovely piece of film footage.As i mentioned in an earlier thread there is a rumour that the Bernwerk positions opposite the Hawthorn crater are going to be cleared and opened up for access.,apparently its never been cleared and supposedly has many tunnels and dugouts. Hope this rumour turns out to be true. Has anybody else heard anything about this? Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a new angle, like the sight of Thiepval in the distance. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew pugh Posted 28 June , 2018 Author Share Posted 28 June , 2018 Hi Horrocks The Burnwerk was the German front line which the Lancashire Fusiliers were supposed to attack on the 1st July from the sunken lane (Hunters Lane), the German front lines were in the woods opposite the sunken lane.

horrocks Posted 29 June , 2018 Share Posted 29 June , 2018 Ah, yes, I thought so. I probably shouldn't say this, but I have heard from a little birdie that the German firing trench in there is in remarkable condition, you can easily follow it from the top to the bottom of the wood.
