A Mine Explosion



Sunday 11th July: the adjutant of the 1st Battalion, currently in the front line near the ill-famed Hill 60, tells us that the enemy has blown up a mine, creating a very large crater, near their trenches. Fortunately the Battalion’s trenches are practically undamaged, but several men have been injured by falling debris and some killed in a following bombardment by artillery.
