I worked in the tunnel. We worked for weeks on this tunnel and it was about six feet deep underneath.
We had a chap who used to sit at the top and we all had to supply bed boards to store it up and also somebody pinched electric light bulbs and light and they connected that up, we had lights along.
We had two miners from Wales who could mine and somebody then, as it got further and further oxygen became difficult to get, so somebody had a kit bag and they made it into bellows and pinched a hose out of the Germans garden and they pumped air to the front and our job all along was to pull the dirt back, seven of us, and pile it underneath this hut where we, until one day the Germans discovered something was going on and fortunately for me, there were seven of us in the thing, and the chap, our scout at the beginning warned us just in time and we all slid out the other side when they came poking with crowbars to see how far the earth was.
So, we got out that way otherwise we would have been in real trouble. So, I might have done another, I did, that's two lots of 21 days I'd done, so things might have been serious if I'd been caught again.
