Abstract
Geologists were appointed as Staff Advisers in Army Headquarters for the first time during the First World War. Their expertise was particularly sought during the planning for underground warfare that developed along the Western Front of northern France and Belgium. Vimy Ridge is typical of the conditions that prevailed and an account of the geology there and its influence on the underground works is presented. Part of the workings are still open for inspection at the present day.
