The Lost WW1 Bunker | Time Team Classic Special

To mark Remembrance Day this 11th November, we thought it would be a fitting opportunity to revisit one of our most remarkable Classic Specials. Join us as we travel back to the battlefields of the First World War with The Lost WW1 Bunker, a fascinating Time Team Special that uncovers an extraordinary piece of history hidden beneath the fields of Flanders. We hope you'll join us for this special re-release as we take a moment to remember all those who served, sacrificed and lost their lives during the Great War. In this episode, Tony Robinson travels to Belgium to investigate a remarkable underground world built during the First World War. As the battlefields of the Western Front were devastated by relentless shelling, Britain's skilled miners and engineers constructed an extensive network of tunnels and dugouts, fighting a secret war beneath the ground. Now, one of the last dugouts to be built, known as the Vampire Dugout, has been drained of water, allowing the first people to enter it in 90 years. Deep beneath the fields of Flanders, Tony and the experts uncover an extraordinary time capsule, revealing the remarkable engineering, craftsmanship and ingenuity of the tunnelling companies who worked underground during the conflict. Through archaeology, the team brings us face to face with a hidden chapter of the Great War and the lives of the men who lived and worked beneath the battlefield. ** JOIN TIME TEAM MEMBERSHIP! ** Support Time Team by becoming a member and get access to exclusive behind-the-scenes content and membership benefits: https://www.patreon.com/timeteamofficial ** MERCHANDISE ** Time Team's Official Shop: https://shop.timeteamdigital.com/ Website: https://www.timeteamdigital.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/timeteamofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timeteamofficial X: https://x.com/thetimeteam Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialtimeteam
