Geo the documentary I mentioned was partly on the old gas shell's and tank's they find and the rest of the program was on the conventional munnition's they find in farmers field's and the old trench system's.geo said:French still have full time EOD teams taking delivery of WW1 gas shells & cylinders that rise up to the surface every year (thru frost & ground heave). News report I saw indicated that there were several "depots" thru the french countryside AND that the gas shells were removed, once a year to a final disposal centre.... whatever that's supposed to mean (could be burial at sea for all I know) (but that would be unethical and probably would violate some international conventions)
geo said:Hmmm... guess we were both watching the same show.

Even under Vimy there are a couple of mines left.Larry Strong said:With beer ;D I watched the show about the underground mines in Belgium. if memory serves me right, one of the remaining one's lies under a farm house/barn, they think....
