Broithe Posted September 28, 2013 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 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... Edited September 28, 2013 by Broithe
Broithe Posted September 28, 2013 Author Posted September 28, 2013 This was it at the time - I believe that it was based on the Messines Ridge.
