I saw a recent archeology-type TV programme about a "dig" on a WW1 battlefield. Amongst badges, rifles, ammo, etc they found a section of narrow gauge track showing the damage caused by a direct hit from an artillery shell. I suspect there are still many sections of track strewn through north-east France - farmers in that area are still finding unexploded shells while ploughing fields - there are organised roadside collection points where farmers can leave shells etc that they find to be removed and safely disposed of. I was over there on a school trip a few years ago and remember being told "don't touch anything - it might explode"!
