222126 Cpl. George Wyndham Stanbury British Army 250th Tunnelling Company Royal Engineers My grandfather, George W Stanbury, was with the 250 Tunnellers in the Royal Engineers I'm proud to say. My father, his son, is now 91 and remembers him tell the story of how they dug out a huge cavern under Hill 60 and carried explosives in their stocking feet to fill it up. My father also remembers Australian cap badges on display next to my grandfather's in their house growing up, no doubt of his comrade tunnellers. George was originally in the 9th East Surreys, but as he was a miner in South Wales he soon became attached to the 250's If you have anymore info on my grandfather I would love to be able to relay this to my father.
