Battle of the Somme
The Somme
was the most
murderous
single battle
of the 1914-18 war.
In a little less
than five
months,
an estimated 1,000,000
British Empire, French
and German soldiers
were killed, captured
or wounded.
There were more than
400,000
British
and Empire casualties,
including 125,000 deaths
–
27,000 on the first day alone.

on the first day of the
Somme,
including 19,240 men killed.

L'offensive alliée sur la
Somme
avait pour objectif de rompre
le front allemand en
Picardie.
Entre juillet et novembre
1916,
les combats opposèrent des
soldats
d'une vingtaine de nations.
Tous belligérants confondus,
cette bataille fit 1 200 000 morts,
blessés et disparus.
