Biography contributed by gail dodd

The photograph of the four tunnellers on this site includes an image of Keith Dodd's grandfather, Edward Gilmore Dodd. A search of his Virtual War Memorial profile will link to his diary: a day to day account of his war experience.

The Lightning Keepers: The AIF's Alphabet Company in the Great War by Damien Finlayson tells the story of the men who operated and maintained pumps, generators, ventilation fans, drilling equipment and other ingenious devices in extreme circumstances. This tiny unit numbered fewer than 300 at full strength. The book is a story of the men, their machinery and the extraordinary grit they displayed in performing some of the most difficult tasks in a war noted for the horrific conditions in which it was waged.
