The Battle of the Somme epitomised the cruelty of the Western
Front. 1 July 1916 witnessed the opening round of the British
Army's attempt to break through an eighteen-mile front of heavily
defended German lines straddling the River Somme in northern
France. Preceded by an artillery bombardment of over 1,500 big guns
that lasted a week, the inexperienced members of Lord Kitchener's
New Army went 'over the top' and suffered the deadliest day in
British military history. On the first day, British losses alone
totalled nearly 20,000 dead. In the next four and a half months of
combat, over 350,000 British soldiers would become casualties to
one of the most intense, lethal, and futile engagements in history.
