My great uncle fought in Flanders in the 91st Division, October - November 1918. I have his diary. They unloaded, formed up, and went right into action - no trench warfare. He doesn’t mention tunnels.

My grandfather told me some about his experience. He didn’t mention trenches or underground fortifications but he did mention shell craters and the German lines, which he somehow got behind for a while and returned intact.
