The soldiers receive the best service a historian can provide:
their story is told in their own words - Guardian 'For some reason
nothing seemed to happen to us at first; we strolled along as
though walking in a park. Then, suddenly, we were in the midst of a
storm of machine-gun bullets and I saw men beginning to twirl round
and fall in all kinds of curious ways' On 1 July 1916, a continous
line of British soldiers climbed out from the trenches of the Somme
into No Man's Land and began to walk towards dug-in German troops
armed with machine-guns. By the end of the day there were more than
60,000 British casualties - a third of them fatal. Martin
Middlebrook's now-classic account of the blackest day in the
history of the British army draws on official sources from the
time, and on the words of hundreds of survivors: normal men, many
of them volunteers, who found themselves thrown into a scene of
unparalleled tragedy and horror.
