Description
The shell-ravaged landscape of Hill 60, some three miles to the south east of Ypres, holds secrets beneath its surface. This small area saw intense fighting in the early years of World War I as both British and German forces vied for control of its dominant view over Ypres.
A labyrinth of tunnels and underground workings lies hidden beneath Hill 60, a testament to the brutal conflict that took place here. Nigel Cave's detailed account explores the events leading up to the First Battle of Ypres and the significance of this pivotal location in the war.
