WW1 Engineering: the Loos Salient
In this presentation, Andy Prada takes a close look at an often neglected aspect of the First World War in one of the often overlooked sectors of the front line. Just how much 'engineering' was needed in the First World War?
As Andy explains, the answer is vast amounts. And beneath the fields, much of this is still intact.
