This account has been gleaned from many interviews with veteran tunnellers and official records.

Summary

In 1914 the British Army was unprepared for the horrors of trench warfare but they were even less prepared for tunnelling. Norton Griffiths warned it would happen and he was proved right as each side attempted to blow up the other's trenches.
