In the Newark field, Dr. Dougt reveals the First World War's trenches

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 31, 2022
A drone that was sent up in Newark, Nottinghamshire, was filming the criss-cross lines, which was later discovered safe and well. The drone's operator Steven Smith was instantly aware that the familiar jagged lines were possibly training trenches on viewing the video. Similar trenches have been discovered at Rothbury, Northumberland, and Wiltshire's Salisbury Plane. I've been to battlefields in France and Belgium in the past and seen the real trenches,' Mr. Belmont said. I know my military history. They're digging trenches. They follow the ridge's pattern. They reminded me of what I'd seen on the battlefields. Although the horror of the Western Front in the collective imagination of millions of Britons is still vivid, thousands of Britons' collective imagination is less common, but the existence of training versions in Britain is less well known. Thousands of untrained men volunteered to fight and required to develop valuable military skills before being sent abroad to battlefields in France and Belgium. Trenches were dug across Britain at the start of the war. Thousands of people from both directions were killed when they went 'over the top' (inset on The Somme in 1916) and were gunned down in No Man's Land. More than 800,000 men from the United Kingdom were killed between 1914 and 1918. The drought that has wreaked havoc on many parts of the region this summer has also revealed 'ghost' gardens at famous country houses and 'lost' villages at reservoirs where water levels have plummeted.
