Military unit
The 183rd Tunnelling Company was one of the tunnelling companies of the Royal Engineers created by the British Army during World War I. The tunnelling units were occupied in offensive and defensive mining involving the placing and maintaining of mines under enemy lines, as well as other underground work such as the construction of deep dugouts for troop accommodation, the digging of subways, saps (a narrow trench dug to approach enemy trenches), cable trenches and underground chambers for signals and medical services.[2]
^Hickling had led 172nd Tunnelling Company's activities at St Eloi in 1915. In early 1916 he was promoted and went on to command 183rd Tunnelling Company on the Somme. - Jones 2010, p. 130.
