Its an incredibly famous part of the war. The tunnel those guys dug is nothing short of incredible.

Sir. You need to watch that film and a couple of documentaries.

Back in the 80's, when i was in Cadets. At our year end Inspection, Our guest speaker was a soldier that was involved in building those tunnels, He was slated to go out but (fortunately?) they were discovered before he had a chance to enter them.


My recollection of the stories are probably a little scewed over time, but i do remember basically hanging on every thing he was telling us and that the majority of us were in absolute awe.
