SOMME 110: Rediscover History. Remember the fallen.

In the summer of 1916 the Battle of the Somme raged in Western Europe. The battle was intended to relieve pressure on the French forces at Verdun and to inflict heavy losses on the German Army. The initial advance on July 1st was a disaster, as the six German divisions facing the advancing British mowed them down with their machine guns, killing or wounding some 60,000 men on the first day alone: the single heaviest day of casualties in British Military history to that point.
