world war 1 tunnels of death

Cant wait for the second part of this one. Amazing to see how well preserved the wood is in the German trenches and a remarkable glimpse into the trench system of WW1.

Really enjoyed part one of the two part series, looking foward to the second part.
 
Sounds like a good series. Hopefully someone will upload it on YouTube for those of us across the pond.

Cheers!
 
Saw the advert for it and someone with a dug up mills in his hand !!!!!? really...... Thought these were disposed of in situe now...
 
Great Documentary, great footage of the trench system as well, those gas attacks must have been horrific.

Look forward to part 2 next Thursday.

It must reach a stage where they see so many of them that it doesn't worry them anymore.
 
struggling to find any recent figures but in 1991 36 french farmers were killed ploughing up unexploded ordnance from WW1
