Fighting The Boche Underground

Fighting The Boche Underground

by Harry Davis Trounce

This book chronicles the experiences of Harry Davis Trounce, a British-born American mining engineer who served as a junior officer in the 181st Tunneling Company during World War I. The book provides a firsthand account of the dangers and challenges faced by those involved in underground warfare, particularly in the critical region of Flanders. Trounce offers detailed descriptions of the tunneling process, the constant threat of enemy counter-tunneling, and the psychological toll endured by soldiers working in claustrophobic and perilous conditions. He paints a vivid portrait of life on the front lines and the strategic importance of tunneling in the context of trench warfare.
