Today in 1917, the British detonated 19 mines beneath the German lines in The Battle of Messines. The explosion underneath Hill 60 blew a 60 ft deep and 260 ft wide crater. Numbered hills like this one, got their names from the elevation above sea level. By the evening of the same day, New Zealand, Australian and British troops had successfully taken the Messines ridge-line. Today, Hill 60 is a memorial site, and nearby, Caterpillar Crater is also evidence of The Battle of Messines. 🎥- Hill 60
