Hill 60




We began our day with a visit to Hill 60. On June 7th 1917 at 3.10am the Allies detonated huge qualities of dynamite that had been tunnelled underneath German lines at 19 locations. This signalled the start of the Battle of Messines, a success for the Allies. This is a shot of an enormous crater from the blast.
