Cpl. James Henry Bailey
British Army Royal Engineers
from:Stoke on Trent
When Henry Bailey was tunnelling at Ypres, he told an officer that he could hear the Germans tunnelling, but was told to go about his business. The Germans blew up the trench and there were no survivors. The British had broken through into the German tunnel, and there was hand to hand fighting in the tunnels.
