WW1 Archaeology, Messines

A Belgian archaeologists carefully cleans a clip of British .303-inch bullets from the First World War. These were found during a dig at the Belgian town of Messines, in Flanders, in 2012 which featured in Channel 5’s WW1 Tunnels of Death.

Items like this are found every year and are still potentially dangerous; they should always be left well alone.
