SommeStag Posted 5 October , 2019 Share Posted 5 October , 2019 There was a forward area known as the Tunnels in the Ypres Salient. The dates in the War Diary are between the 14-16th October 1917 so presumably near Passchedaele. Does anyone have a map showing this area please? Many thanks.

mebu Posted 5 October , 2019 Share Posted 5 October , 2019 There were many tunnels in the salient. In October unlikely to be very close to Passchendaele: suggest if you can be more specific in terms of which unit/war diary someone may be able to help.

Howard Posted 5 October , 2019 Share Posted 5 October , 2019 Have a look at Beneath Flanders Fields: The Tunnellers War 1914-1918 by Peter Barton. A well researched book with some lovely maps. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
