(SOLO) Fighting The Boche Underground, by Harry Davis Trounce (1885 - 1960)

All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/fighting-the-boche-underground-hd-trounce/
Harry Trounce was an American mining engineer of British birth and parentage who joined the British Army in October 1915. After the briefest of training in England and France he joined the 181st Tunnelling Company at Silly-sur-la-Lys in Flanders in January 1916. This book is a detailed blow-by-blow (in every sense of the words) account of life underground as a junior officer in this company

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

I shortened the filename. Long ones can cause problem. Let me know if any changes are needed or if you update the book description.
