On July 1, 1916, British and French forces launched the first attack on the German armies lined up along the Somme in what was to become the defining battle of World War I. To this day, July 1 is often remembered for being the bloodiest day in British military history. Indeed, the British suffered some 62,000 casualties in that one day of fighting alone. As gruesome as that statistic is, it's just one of the many dark legacies left by the Somme Offensive.

Outstanding Story
Revisado: 10-10-16
The Battle of the Somme is recalled in most literature in very Anglo-centric terms. Usually the recollection is great swathes of khaki swept aside by as the author puts it industrial warfare. But this story relates that besides the khaki are horizon bleu and field gray. Illuminating, instructive, and informative. A must read for those interested in the Great War!
