Looking forward to seeing Birdsong, interested in tunnellers, also visited some old remains of tunnels when they built new Colchester Garrison, during this time two Sappers lost there lives and 10 others were awarded Royal Humane Society Medals, Gold, Silver and Bronze for there work into trying to rescue them.
