Don't know if it's the greatest of all time, but it was a fantastic movie. Deserves a wider audience for sure.

@AussieTheOztralian yeh, i saw it on a trip to world war one battle fields- great film ,but the end is just tradgic and i was just asking if there was a 16 sapper called f. tiffin who died of such circumstances

[AussieTheOztralian]

It is a great success story of the Australian Military. You will have to watch the movie to find out the answer to your question. The movie can be downloaded from most torrent websites for free, not that i advocate that kind of behaviour, but yeah, the movie is available online for viewing if you know where to look and what program to use to download it.

Finally, at 3.10am precisely on June 7, 1917 Woodward's mine and 18 others were exploded, with a tremendous shock, similar to that of an earthquake. It was felt in London, some say even Dublin. Immediately after the mines were fired the entire artillery force of the Second Army opened a three-pronged, 10km barrage on the German lines and opened a road to Berlin. 10000 Germans died instantly. The German line which had stymied the Allies for two and a half years was taken in six hours.

For 7 months the underground system was held by the Capt Woodward and his Tunneling Company.

Hill 60 was charged with 53,500 lbs of high explosive. The gallery under 'The Caterpillar' was charged with 70,000 lbs of explosives. Captain Oliver Woodward and the Ist Australian Tunnelling Company were assigned the task of holding this mine until the order was given to go. This entailed endless fighting above and below ground to keep the enemy from discovering the galleries and charges.
