Stepping into the past part three

The final part of our adventure last Sunday was down a Hohlgangslagen (cave passage) in St Helier. Both interesting and extremely moving. This split into two passages, neither of which were competed due to hitting a rock fault, so used for storage rather than a way to swiftly take injured soldiers to the military hospital.



The soldiers based there had apparently passed the time by painting the wall with a town map, featuring their favourite strip club.



But more poignant were the etched names and dates that must have related to slave workers who worked - and probably died - creating these structures. We must never forget the horrors of those years.
