Some strange stories were told about the fighting that had taken place in it between the French and the Germans at the beginning of the war.

I went down into it one evening when the 16th Battalion was there.

It was a most picturesque place.

The walls and roof were white chalk and the place was cut up by passages and openings which led into other caves.

The atmosphere was smoky, and a multitude of candles lit up the strange abode.
