Demolition works

by angiehart
I'm tagging the 9th Field Company Royal Engineers and they are preparing to demolish several bridges in the area. I have tagged them as 'other' as it's not construction and it's not digging/repairing positions. I've also hashtagged it as #demolition. Has anyone else come across this, and is there a better way to tag it?
Thanks, Angela

Can't see a better way Angela and it might be an interesting hashtag to use in future to see how much "blowing up of stuff" Engineers and others were doing.

Good idea! I'll start a post about it.

as you can see from my comment to the left, this particular instance is related to the German Spring Offensive, blowing bridges as the British retreated in order to slow down the German advance

Thanks, David. It's fascinating to put these events in context.
