Description
The First Day on the Somme by Martin Middlebrook
On 1 July 1916, a continuous line of British soldiers climbed out of their trenches and into No Man's Land, walking towards heavily defended German positions. The result was one of the bloodiest days in British military history, with over 60,000 casualties.
This account of the Somme's first day is drawn from official records and the words of hundreds of survivors, offering a unique and powerful insight into the experiences of ordinary men who found themselves in the midst of unimaginable tragedy and horror.
