Is that the one where the Brits dug a long tunnel under German positions and filled it with explosives, detonated remotely?

  Yes. Stellar quote from General Harington the night before the attack:
  
  “Gentlemen, I don’t know whether we are going to make history tomorrow, but at any rate we shall change geography”
