For the centenary of the Battle of Messines of 7-14 June 1917 I have written four blogs examining often-repeated misconceptions about the battle.
‘The Big Bang Heard in Downing Street:’ How far away were the mines heard and felt?
Did the Messines Mines Really Kill 10,000 Germans?
The Lost Mines: how many unexploded mines remain beneath the Messines ridge battlefield?
