Big Sky Publishing, Sydney, 2010. Hardcover in Dustjacket. First Edition. pp. xxiii, 480 b/w illustrations. Over 4,500 Australians served on the Western Front in three Australian tunneling companies and their unique support unit, the Alphabet Company. Below the shattered ground that separated the British and German infantry on the Western Front in World War I, an unseen and largely unknown war was raging, fought by miners, 'tunnellers' as they were known. They knew at any moment their lives could be extinguished without warning by hundreds of tonnes of collapsed earth and debris. Crumps and Camouflets is the first complete history of Australia's role in the tunnelling war of 1914-1919. #150315/0818 World War I ANZAC Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
