Hill 60, Ypres - Langholm 1915

17th April – 7th May 1915

Hill 60 was a spoil heap from a railway cutting near Ypres, captured by Germany in November 1914. In March and early April 1915, English and Welsh miners dug tunnels into the hill and six large explosives were placed in them. They were detonated at 7.05 pm on Saturday 17th April 1915, enabling the hill to be captured by the 13th Infantry Brigade (incorporating 2nd KOSB) of the 5th Infantry Division.
