There is no permanent memorial on the Western Front to the extraordinary work of the Royal Engineers tunnellers. Help us commemorate their achievements by donating to the Tunnellers Memorial Fund. Details of the proposed memorial can be found on this site. The memorial is expected to be unveiled in the summer of 2010.

The memorial will be unveiled at Givenchy on Saturday 19 June 2010. Timings and details will be advised on the website later once arrangements have been finalised. All are welcome to attend this unique event.
