Just put this on the Remembrance post

Just found out that the western front was 630 miles long. I never realised it was that long.

It seems they are going to try and make a peace footpath following the frontline 630 miles from Switzerland to the Belgium coast

Now I wonder how long the trenches were on both sides of the frontline?




So anybody know the length of trenches dug on both sides?

I would guess at least 2,000 miles on both sides of the frontline.

Well a quick google come up with 25,000 miles of trenches, that is enough to stretch around the world!
