Miners at war (General)

It was the subjet of a BBC? TV documentary a while ago, during the First World war there was a special regiment/battalion? that just dug defences and tunnelled under the german lines to plant tons of explosives to blow the enemy to kingdom come. They were called mines but they were almost nuclear events.

When it comes right down to it, even in modern warfare soldiers are useless without the back up of so many trades.
