The Somme…
On the first of July, 1916, after seven days of extensive artillery bombardment, the Allied forces of Britain and France launched a massive offensive on the German lines. The British forces, consisting mostly of new recruits, began their advance at 7:30 am, at a brisk and steady pace through No Man’s land. Believing that the artillery barrage had softened and weakened the German defenses, the British advanced confidently, expecting no resistance. However, this notion proved false. In actuality, the German defenses were still well intact. As a result, the British forces suffered over 58,000 casualties within the course of the day.
