The Mining Legacy :
Over 25 years of research on and under the battlefields
of the Great War, combined with the access to military
records and engineers worldwide, has produced a vast and
unrivalled archive of Australia's role in this
underground war.
The
FILM and DVD will complement AN EXISTING CAMPAIGN to
finally establish a memorial and interpretive centre to
long-forgotten Australian Tunnellers of the Great War,
lead by Queenslander Ross Thomas with the support and
cooperation of the Australian Institute of Mining and
Metallurgy. The contribution of the Australian
Tunnellers was integral to the Allied success in
decisively winning the war underground and represents
the finest moment in the mining industry's involvement
in any Australian conflict. The tale of their
extraordinary, indeed almost unbelievable, endeavors
will complement Australia's Gallipoli story and add a
new piece of the jigsaw of Australian national heritage.
