Hi Richard,
Thanks for the reply.
I was referring to the military mining/tunnelling that was being conducted on an
enormous scale on the Western Front by both the Allies and the Germans. The book
which I seek is the only German tunnelling book that is in existence does still
exist as I have seen a photocopy in London recently.
I have been researching the Aussie side of the tunnelling and am part of a team
intending on producing a documentary on the subject.
Truely a fascinating story of which little is known.
Take a look at the Battle of Messines Ridge outside Ypres and note the amazing
system of underground workings under Hill 60 and what happened at precisely 3:10
pm on June 7, 1917.
Take care,
Rosco downunder
Sorry about the cricket.
