The mine was 88 feet deep and contained 91, lbs of ammonal. Once it was blown, the crater was feet wide with a 90 feet wide rim , and 40 feet deep. The crater was purchased in by Toc H and has been preserved. Towards the north-east of the crater, the protruding remains of a bunker can be seen. This was most likely a German bunker. Presumably, as it is located just beyond the edge of the rim of the crater this bunker only just escaped being blown sky-high years ago! Across the road from Spanbroekmolen, a concrete path by a farm leads past a duck pond to the small Lone Tree Cemetery. This cemetery contains 88 burials six of whom are unknown. The soldiers buried here are mainly from the Royal Irish Rifles, killed on the 7th of June , some by the explosion of the Spanbroekmolen mine which was blown around 15 seconds later than planned as they advanced. The views to the south and east from this cemetery are stunning, and reinforce the advantage the Germans had from this higher ground. Mount Kemmel can be seen, and also several churches including that of Wulvergehem to the south. Lone Tree is one of the most beautiful cemeteries, and one of my favourite spots in the Salient. This cemetery is north-east of Spanbroekmolen. It can be reached on foot by following the path across fields from the rear of the Spanbroekmolen site. By car, return the way you came to the left turn just before the crossroads. Take this left turn and then take the next turn to the left. There are just five rows of graves, comprising 58 burials. The cemetery was almost exclusively used for burying men who fell on the first day of the Battle of Messines, June the 7th, Three graves are from June the 8th. The surviving comrades of the fallen buried these men here in June , after the fighting that raged across this now peaceful landscape. They lie here still, in peace. As well as Spanbroekmolen, some of the other craters from mines blown for the Messines offensive can still be seen. Continuing further along the road from Spanbroekmolen British Cemetery a large water-filled crater is visible on the right. This is Peckham Farm Crater , and whilst it was the fourth largest mine in terms of the amount of explosives used , it may be the largest remaining crater. The crater was visited by King George V in July , when it was far enough behind thefront lines for it to be safe for him to do so. The picture above shows the crater, looking east, with the steeple of Wytschaete church visible to the left. This view shows the ground over which the British advanced that day. South of Messines are several more craters, some of which are on private land. There are three St. Yvon or St. Yves craters , and one St. Yvon No. These mines were originally known as Trench and Trench mines there were two mine at each location. For a number of reasons, not all of the mines which had been originally planned for the Messines assault exploded that day in One, somewhere in the vicinity of La Petit Douve Farm south-east of Messines, was discovered by the Germans in August , subsequently flooded and abandoned. Another, near the St. This crater was subsequently filled in. These were not blown in for tactical reasons the Germans had already withdrawn from this location when the day of the battle arrived. Presumably, the remaining three Birdcage mines, plus the La Petit Douve Farm mine described above, still lie beneath the Flanders fields. This ridge was obviously of great benefit to the Germans, in that they overlooked the British positions on the lower ground, and hence the operation to take this ground. This is in the form of a large St. Above the inscription relating to the action here on Halloween is another which shows the memorial remembers all men of the London Scottish who fell in the Great War. The 1st London Scottish were brought to the Salient from St. Omer in 34 London buses, arriving in Ypres at 3 a. The situation during this time was confused, and they were twice sent out as reinforcements before orders changed and they were recalled. They finally went into the line at dawn on the 31st of October but a few hours later they were sent as reinforcements to the 4th Cavalry Brigade on the Wytschaete-Messines ridge. At 10 a. Their memorial now stands more or less on that spot. The London Scottish suffered from artillery and rifle fire whilst they dug in. They held the position during the day until at 9 p. The London Scottish drove them back, despite problems with their rifles which meant they effectively had to use them as single-loaders rather than with magazines. The enemy attacked again and again during the night, eventually getting close enough that there was hand to hand fighting near the road. After this, due to their losses and the situation the London Scottish were ordered to withdraw. They had held on for hours, holding up the German advance in their first action. They had suffered nearly casualties, and it was not surprising that after the war their memorial should be sited here. The memorial was unveiled in May , in a ceremony attended by Earl Haig and the Belgian King, as well as survivors from the battalion itself. Wreaths were placed at the base of the memorial by relatives of men who had died. External Websites.

Messines - Wytschaete Ridge Messines Ridge stretched towards the village of Wytschaete, which is located about 1,5 km farther north, along the N road to Ypres.

Battle of Messines The overall front of the Battle of Messines stretched on about 14,5 km. The offensive was considered a triumph of modern strategy and tactics! Modern assault tactics consisted of taking advantage of the enemy's flaws. The offensive started with the detonation of 19 mines that destroyed the German lines.

The villages of Messines and Whytschaete were completely flattened and reduced to heaps of stones, and German and British trenches ran along their respective lines… Many bunkers and craters were intentionally kept in their war state, in order to pay tribute to the men who died there. They are also a testimonial for the younger generations. Some of the mines used on June 7 didn't explode. The crater was subsequently flooded and abandoned! Several other craters can be seen in the surrounding farmland. It was most likely an Allied bunker because the apertures face the German front lines. Wounded, killed or missing from the 37th Ulster, 16th Irish and 10th Irish Divisions. A tall round memorial tower marks the centre of the park. Messines Ridge - Ypres Salient in Flanders In the face of active German counter-mining, 8, metres of tunnel were constructed under German lines. Occasionally the tunnellers would encounter German counterparts engaged in the same task: underground hand to hand fighting would ensure. Heavy preliminary artillery bombardment of the German lines was begun on 21 May, involving 2, guns and heavy mortars , ceasing at on the morning of 7 June. The German troops, sensing imminent attack, rushed to their defensive positions, machine guns ready, meanwhile sending up flares to detect British movement towards the ridge. Silence prevailed for the following twenty minutes until, at , the order was given across the line to detonate the mines, which totalled tons of explosive. Of the 21 mines laid 19 were exploded. The invariable loss of surprise in the use of a preliminary bombardment was entirely offset by the effect of the mines, which blew the crest off the Messines-Wytschaete ridge.

Abstract The Third Battle of Ypres was officially terminated by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig with the opening of the Battle of Cambrai on 20 November 1917. Nevertheless, a comparatively unknown set-piece attack – the only large-scale night operation carried out on the Flanders front during the campaign – was launched twelve days later on 2 December. This thesis, a necessary corrective to published campaign narratives of what has become popularly known as „Passchendaele‟, examines the course of events from the mid-November decision to sanction further offensive activity in the vicinity of Passchendaele village to the barren operational outcome that forced British GHQ to halt the attack within ten hours of Zero. A litany of unfortunate decisions and circumstances contributed to the profitless result.

  • Passchendaele Archives
    Research workshop Passchendaele Archives This workshop is based on the "Passchendaele Archives", a project of the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 that tries to give the many names in the cemeteries and monuments a story and a face. To make a visit to CWGC Tyne Cot Cemetery tangible for students, during this workshop they conduct their own research in the education room of the MMP1917 starting with a photo, name and date of death. They try to reconstruct and map what happened on the fatal day of “their” fallen soldier. After the workshop, students can find the grave or memorial of the soldier at CWGC Tyne Cot Cemetery. They now possess a personal story behind the endless rows of names, in the cemetery. This bundle provides practical information about this educational package that enriches a classroom visit to the museum and Tyne Cot Cemetery. Content of this information bundle: - Connection with curricula – p. 1 - Practical information – p. 2 - The research workshop – p. 3 - Personal records – p. 5 - In the area – p. 8 Connection with curricula: The Passchendaele Archives research workshop and the accompanying educational package mainly focus on the following subjects: • History, in particular WWI (theme) • English (source material) The content of this package is consistent with multiple history program curricula. It places personal stories related to WWI in a wider context as the full educational package interfaces with ideas, imperialism, norms and values that were present in the wider 19th and early 20th century British Empire. In addition, mathematics and geography skills are also used the workshop, giving it a multidisciplinary approach.

  • The Evolution of British Tactical and Operational Tank Doctrine and Training in the First World War
    The evolution of British tactical and operational tank doctrine and training in the First World War PHILIP RICHARD VENTHAM TD BA (Hons.) MA. Thesis submitted for the award of the degree of Master of Philosophy by the University of Wolverhampton October 2016 ©Copyright P R Ventham 1 ABSTRACT Tanks were first used in action in September 1916. There had been no previous combat experience on which to base tactical and operational doctrine for the employment of this novel weapon of war. Training of crews and commanders was hampered by lack of vehicles and weapons. Time was short in which to train novice crews. Training facilities were limited. Despite mechanical limitations of the early machines and their vulnerability to adverse ground conditions, the tanks achieved moderate success in their initial actions. Advocates of the tanks, such as Fuller and Elles, worked hard to convince the sceptical of the value of the tank. Two years later, tanks had gained the support of most senior commanders. Doctrine, based on practical combat experience, had evolved both within the Tank Corps and at GHQ and higher command. Despite dramatic improvements in the design, functionality and reliability of the later marks of heavy and medium tanks, they still remained slow and vulnerable to ground conditions and enemy counter-measures. Competing demands for materiel meant there were never enough tanks to replace casualties and meet the demands of formation commanders. This thesis will argue that the somewhat patchy performance of the armoured vehicles in the final months of the war was less a product of poor doctrinal guidance and inadequate training than of an insufficiency of tanks and the difficulties of providing enough tanks in the right locations at the right time to meet the requirements of the manoeuvre battles of the ‘Hundred Days’.

  • Canadian Expeditionary Force 1914-1919
    OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE CANADIAN ARMY IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR CANADIAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE 1914-1919 By COLONEL G.W.L. NICHOLSON, C.D. Army Historical Section Published by Authority of the Minister of National Defence ROGER DUHAMEL, F.R.S.C. QUEEN'S PRINTER AND CONTROLLER OF STATIONERY OTTAWA, 1964 1 CHAPTER I CANADA AT WAR The Outbreak of War On 28 JUNE 1914 an assassin's bullet struck down the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. The incident, occurring at a time when a dangerous tension strained the relations between the two armed camps into which the great powers of Europe had grouped themselves, precipitated the devastating conflict which we have come to call the first World War. The slaying took place at Sarajevo, capital city of Bosnia, a Balkan province which Austria after thirty years of occupancy had formally annexed in 1908. The plotters were allegedly agents of a Serbian secret society, and on 23 July Austria, seizing the opportunity to end the "Greater Serbia" movement which she saw as a threat to the prestige, if not the very existence, of the Dual Monarchy, presented a harsh ultimatum whose demands Serbia could not possibly accept and retain her national sovereignty. Austria hoped to crush Serbia in a purely local war, but in view of Russia's known encouragement of Serbian ambitions, she had taken the precaution of obtaining Germany's assurance of support in the event of a wider conflict. With only forty-eight hours allowed for her answer Serbia immediately appealed to Russia for help, at the same time seeking advice from France, Britain and Italy.

  • The Battle of Messines
    CHAPTER XV THE BATTLE OF MESSINES-JUNE 7TH BEFOREmost great attacks on the Western Front, during that critical last night in which, generally, the infantry left its billets and made its way, first, in column of fours on dark roads beside moving wheel and motor traffic, then, usually in file, along tracks marked across the open, and finally into communication trenches to wind silently out in the small hours and line the “ jumping-off ” trenches or white tapes laid in the long wet grass of open No-Man’s Land, where for an hour or two it must await the signal to assault-during these critical hours one thought was usually uppermost in the men’s minds: does the enemy know? With the tactics of 1917,involving tremendous preparatory bombardments, which entailed months of preliminary railway and road construction, G.H.Q. had been forced to give up the notion of keeping an attack secret until it was delivered. Enemy airmen could not fail to observe these works and also the new camps, supply centres, casualty clearing stations, hangars for aeroplanes. Reference has been made to the Comniander-in-Chief’s desire to impart the impression, in April, of a serious attack, and,‘in May, of a feint. But the final week’s bombardment had given sure notice of the operation, and the most that could be hoped for was that the enemy might be deceived as to the main stroke that would come after, and might continue to expect it at Arras rather than at Ypres. As far as the Messines offensive went, the Germans must know that a great attack-whether feint or principal operation-was imminent ; indeed, German prisoners spoke with certainty of it.
