Robert K Johns has written a new book ‘Battle Beneath The Trenches’. a story about a company of Cornish Miners which was formed in Hayle, Cornwall by a group of 221 Cornish Miners specifically selected by the Royal Engineers. These Cornishmen became the 251st Tunnelling Company RE, and after formation were posted with haste to the Western Front. It has received great reviews at Amazon and Pen & Sword, which is really pleasing not just for him, but in memory of all the soldiers who took part, his grandfather being one them.

It is available from Pen & Sword (ISBN 9781473827004) and Amazon or directly via paypal off his web-site www.robertkjohns.co.uk
