In the footsteps BATTLEFIELD TOURS
Messines Ridge Tour
On 7th June 1917 General Herbert Plumer's British Second Army attack the German Imperial Army positions along the Messines Ridge to push them off the domminating high ground. So long as this high ground remained in German hands Field Marshall Haig's planned assault in the Ypres Salient in could not take place. In preparation for the assault 25 mines were dug to be set-off immediately before the attack was launched and to the southern end of the area the ANZAC soldiers would be going into action for the first time. Join our guide as he recounts the story of what happened.
