Hi Folks,
Hope that you are all keeping well. I was having a look at Simon Godly's (one of our guides last year in the family trip to Arras) website - www.webmatters.net - and came across the attached article on the Wellington quarry in Arras. They were tunnels built by the New Zealanders during WW1 and used to store supplies, house troops etc. Perhaps Paddy Horkan even stayed in them during his time in Arras.
They were opened recently to the public and seem a good attraction if you are ever back in that part of France. If the regimental anchor monument is moved sometime perhaps we'll have to organise a return trip. I really enjoyed the trip last year, great to meet up with everyone and celebrate the life of such a great man.
