Reconstructed Trenches RAF Halton

Earlier this month Guild Members Bob Darby and Piers Storie Pugh were invited to visit a reconstructed trench system at RAF Halton. This is a project funded by the RAF and carried out by young airman under training at Halton and between courses. The original trenching system was the work of Kitchener K3 volunteers before leaving for France.

The reconstruction has been carried out using drawings from the original Field Training Manuals. The site is within the grounds of RAF Halton and therefore not open to the general public.
