"The technical aspects are interesting, even to the non-specialist reader. The author explains the differences between the methods developed by the NZ Engineers & those of their British Army counterparts. The New Zealanders operated mainly in the chalk areas around Arras. They occupied some of the natural caves which they extended until they were 40 feet in height & several hundred feet across..." - Perkins. Orig. brown cloth, little spotted o/w VG & rare.
