Op Drum - Sanctuary Wood Trenches

 
Visited Sanctuary Wood trenches with Heaton Manor (Tyneside Scottish) Detachment Northumbria ACF.

Great opportunity to get into the trenches and tell the cadets about how the soldiers lived and died in those surroundings. leading the whole contingent through the long tunnel in total darkness was an interesting experience.
