A famous saying in Australia we often use is, “Any Tom, Dick or Harry” usually used to describe the fact you could pick anybody to perform a task. It’s funny as Tom, Dick and Harry are famous for a task that was special. Tom, Dick and Harry were the names of the three tunnels that were dug in World War two that’s allowed over 200 Prisoners of war to escape a POW Camp, the escape was made famous in the Hollywood Movie, The Great Escape.
The Tunnels were dug thirty feet below the surface, were only two feet wide and ran for well over two hundred meters, tight and confined Micro Excavations we would have to say, but they were a success.
It didn't just escape tunnels that were Micro Excavations back in the day, housing foundations, sewage works often had to be completed in small tight spaces and all were done with a pick and a shovel. No doubt if we had a chance to talk to those soldiers and workers from way back in the day, they would agree that times have changed a lot when it comes to earthworks in small tight spaces.
