It was a fine sight for us fellows after working working down in good old mother earth tunnelling tunnelling for many months. The prisoners brought in after the mine-blowing said it seemed as if the whbie earth opened up on them, and with all our guns opening up at the same time the barrage was very intense. intense. It was beyond my powers to describe describe but it was awful.
