The Wytschaete-Messines Ridge in Western Flanders, Belgium was strategic high ground held by the Germans in 1917. Over a year in the making, Allied forces ambitiously tunnelled their way underground, far beneath No Man's Land and beyond to the German front line. Many tunnels were created and they all led to chambers laden with high explosives. Secrecy was paramount during construction of these tunnels and in the lead-up to Zero Hour, at 3.10am on 7 June 1917. It was at that moment that nineteen of these high explosive mines were detonated. Many veterans remembered the ferocious blasts, the massive upheaval of earth which shook both sides like an earthquake, and the deafening sound which was reportedly heard as far away as London.
After detonation the Allied forces began their advance on to the Wytschaete-Messines Ridge. Their objective was to win the Ridge and push back the German regiments.
The New Zealanders were successful in their bid to drive the Germans out of the village of Messines but in doing so, lost many casualties. Among them was my great great uncle Private George Douglas Fox, All Blacks James Baird, George Sellars, Jim McNeece and Reg Taylor, New Zealand boxer James Penrose and New Zealand Rugby League representative William Bussell.

In this special Anzac day post, and in the hundred years since the Battle of Messines, I pay tribute and remembrance to the men of the Wellington Infantry who were killed in this battle. The fallen are;
