Attention Sappers - meet the IRON MEN of 1916 - 1917

At one time in WW1 the most secret weapon of the Army was the Canadian Tunneling Companies.

A memorial to all Tunnelling Companies is being opened near Vimy Ridge in 1917 in June this year

Read - learn - make a donation if you can - and most of all remember
