Broithe Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 This enormous trench system model is currently being excavated near me. It was built in the First World War as a training aid. The idea is the scan it when is all been uncovered and then cover it up again, as it's quite fragile. They will then construct a virtual model and eventually, maybe, a physical replica elsewhere.

Broithe Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) I took Great Uncle John's engraved shell case up there, as he didn't have the pleasure of the Western Front. He had rather better weather in the Dardanelles. Even on a model battlefield, we have to have Health and Safety...

Broithe Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 This was it at the time - I believe that it was based on the Messines Ridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
