Somme
By Lyn Macdonald
Published by Michael Joseph: London 1983 1st Edition

" The Battle of the Somme (July 1 - November 18, 1916) was fought primarily between the Allied forces, led by Britain and France, and the German Empire. The battle took place on the Western Front in northern France and was one of the largest and bloodiest battles of World War I.

Key participants included:

Allied Powers: The British Empire (including troops from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and India) and France.

Central Powers: The German Empire.

The battle was launched to relieve pressure on the French forces at Verdun and aimed to weaken the German defensive lines. It is particularly remembered for the high casualties, especially on the first day, when the British Army suffered nearly 60,000 losses, making it the deadliest day in British military history."
