Sapping referred to the method of digging tunnels underground to undermine enemy lines or defensive positions during World War 1. It allowed troops to approach their targets unseen and launch surprise attacks. Tunneling, on the other hand, specifically referred to the practice of constructing tunnels by specialist tunneling companies for various purposes, such as mining beneath enemy positions to plant explosives. Both tactics were used by both sides to gain an advantage in trench warfare.
