The First World War began in August 1914, when the German army invaded Belgium
and then swept into France. The Allies stopped the German advance, and both sides
dug a long line of trenches that faced one another. This was the Western Front. The
space between the two sets of trenches was called no-man’s land. The Allies tried to
capture the German trenches by sending thousands of soldiers across no-man’s land on
foot. Huge numbers died after being shot at or shelled. To limit the risk to their men, both
sides began to dig tunnels that led under no-man’s land. There they used explosives in the
hope of killing soldiers in the enemy trenches overhead. This was known as tunnel warfare – the
war underground.

Hope - In 1914 in August the German army invaded Belgium and swept into France. The Allies
stopped the German advance. Both sides dug a long line of trenches that faced one another. The
space between the two sets of trenches was called no-man's land. There were Allies that tried to
capture the German trenches by sending over thousands of soldiers across the no-man's land on foot.
Huge numbers died after being shot at or shelled. The two sides began to dig underneath the no-man's
