Hi list.
Many of you will recall my endeavours to trace details of Arthur Clifford
and that these researches resulted in discovering his involvement, along
with thousands of other miners, in the Tunnelling efforts at Ypres
1915-1917.
My research progresses but I would like to advise anyone interested that
there will be a documentary, on Channel 4, on 11th November which covers the
story of those Tunnellers.
The program producer also advises me that he has another documentary, to be
shown on the same day (BBC2) which relates to an emotional visit of some
veterans back to Ypres.
I appreciate that this is more WW1 topic but, in mind of the thousands of UK
(and commonwealth) miners that were conscripted to the Royal Engineers at
the time, I feel it may be of interest.
Regards
Phil Clifford
