This presentation covers the evolution of the La Boisselle project, its planning and execution and, of course, the small sector of the Glory Hole at La Boisselle. The talk will also look at the infantry and tunnellers - British, French and German. This is an on-going project and by late 2012 some interesting and possibly spectacular footage of the excavations is likely to be available.
