Hi guys and welcome back to another blog post, today I would like to tell you about my reading book called Underground Soldiers. It was based on the tunnels in the first world war back in 1914 when Germany invaded Belgium and then France.
The book started when 2 boys fell into the underground tunnel in Arras back 20 years ago also it was 30 meters underground. In the tunnels one of the miners would sit down in a cold damp dark tunnel and wait with his headphones in to hear if there was any movement from the other base or any explosives that are soon going to be dropped, also it gave the person a lot of stress just sitting there probably all night just waiting for any movement.
Tunnelers were sent from New Zealand. most were miners some were bushmen and labourers. The point of the tunnels were that they didn't get killed walking in the No Man's Land, also they bring mice so if the mice get dizzy they will know that the other team has put poisonous gas at the entrance and so they are most likely to get killed.
Here is a picture about the tunnels.
The book is a good one I really like it. I would recommend it to you if you would like to know a little about the war and gadgets used.
What books have you been reading in your workshops?
