There was a very good television programme about this which was broadcast
last year to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of WWI. Unfortunately I
can't remember whether it was on BBC, ITV or Channel 4.
A large part of the programme was devoted to excavations leading up to a
filmed expedition into one of the mines which was surprisingly well
preserved. It was something of a revelation to me as it revealed that, on
occasion, the miners were involved in hand to hand fighting underground.
