The Western Front: Tunnels, Caves & Terrain

?

 Tunnels, Caves & Quarries At Arras:

  • Before the Battle of Arras, soldiers from New Zealand and England dug a network of tunnels in the ground underneath Arras.
  • The chalky ground made tunnelling easy and the new tunnels connected to ancient tunnels that were created by the Romans.
  • The ancient tunnels led to quarries under the town.
  • Rooms were created with running water and electricity supplies, off these tunnels.
