Framed Print of Siege operations at Chatham: explosion of a mine, 1871. Creator: Unknown
Siege operations at Chatham: explosion of a mine, 1871. British Army exercises. The siege operations performed...in the neighbourhood of Chatham, at the Commander-in-Chief's annual inspection of field-works constructed by the School of Military Engineering, afforded several thousand spectators a rare entertainment, and gave a fair notion of some parts of the actual business of war...The explosion of a mine with 1000 lb. of gunpowder is shown in the Illustration on our front page. The intention and effect of this mine, prepared by the besieging force, was to make a hole in the ground 50 ft. wide and 16 ft. deep, forming a lodgment under cover for their troops, in advance of the trenches they had previously dug. There was some fighting, at a later hour of the day, for the possession of this lodgment and of another cavity in the earth, made by similar means, a little way to the left of the first, which was opposite the right demi-bastion of St. Mary's. The unaccustomed spectators, who saw a hundred tons of earth hurled up into the air, 50 ft. high, by the explosion of one of these mines, had the pleasure of being astonished'.
