The Underground War: Vol 1: Vimy Ridge to Arras

Description: From the inside cover: "This is the first part of a planned four-volume series... Each book in the series has a short description of the formation and development of Tunnelling Companies in the BEF and a glossary of technical terms... This volume looks mainly at the central Artois, the environs of the whole line of the Vimy Ridge to the River Scarpe and Arras... There are extensive descriptions of mining in and around Vimy Ridge, including photography and explanations of systems that have been accessed recently but are closed to the public, such as the Goodman Subway. The narrative draws on French and German archival material and personal descriptions. The text is illustrated with numerous diagrams and maps, in particular from the British and German records, and there is an exhaustive guide to the Grange Subway. Other sites open to the public, in particular the Wellington Cave are also explained and put into context." Hardcover, 288 pages, in like-new condition.
