Chemical Weapons & Railway Tunnels - Australia

I draw the readers attention to an article I recently wrote for Australian Railway History, Chemical Warfare & Railway Tunnels. Surely one of the strangest uses for a railway tunnel was for the storage of chemical weapons. This occured west and south of Sydney, Australia during World War II and hundreds of thousands of weapons went through the four tunnels. The article is available in PDF format here;

Hi Geoff, welcome to the forum. Can I first advise you not to put your email address on here as the site is regularly scanned by spam scum. We can email each other via the private messages. Next, thanks for the link, very interesting.
