At 07.20 on 1st July 1916, a huge mine at Hawthorn Ridge, near Beaumont-Hamel, was detonated 10 minutes before zero hour signalling the beginning of the Battle of the Somme. Excavated with great skill and patience, in most dangerous and difficult conditions, by specialist Tunnelling Companies of the Royal Engineers, the mines were classic weapons of siege warfare brought up to date by the use of the latest powerful explosives. | Exeter City Council
