Brits' Close Shave With Hitler?

摘要

I enjoyed your article on the role of the Territorial Army during the First World War, "A Family Affair" (November), but spotted an error. The feature included a photograph captioned "men of the Royal Engineers working on a tunnel under German lines". I've no doubt that the men in question are beneath "enemy" lines as they are not only wearing German uniforms, but are from the 16th Bavarian Reserve Battalion, and the man in the centre of the picture is LCpl Adolf Hitler.
