The Somme - Lochnagar Crater

The Lochnagar crater, detonated on 1st July 1916 two minutes before the British infantry left their trenches for what would become known as 'The First Day of the Somme.'

Please note that during this film I state that this is the largest man-made crater. I am referring to up to that time, 1916. I am aware that there are larger ones created by nuclear weapons. No need for anyone else to inform me of this. Thank you.
