Our local Texahoma PBS station recently had on a documentary on tunneling during the First World War. The documentary primarily focused on the British Army and more specifically the Royal Engineers, however there was also mention of Canadian efforts in tunneling during the war. According to the documentary Canadian tunneling efforts were divided between two organizations. The Royal Canadian Engineers who came from both the Permanent Active Militia and Non-Permanent Active Militia components of the "Canadian Militia"(Army), and the Canadian Tunneling Corps which was formed overseas and with both officers and other ranks recruited directly from the Canadian mining industry. The Canadian Tunneling Corps was disbanded with little fanfare in 1918, and for the most part their exploits have been overlooked by the daring sappers of the Royal Canadian Engineers Tunneling Companies.
Now with all that being said, who would other than the Canadian Military Engineers Regimental Association have any information on the topic?
