The Battle of the Somme 1 July The wholesale slaughter of the working class... The offensive began at 7.30am on 1 July 1916. Many of the infantry who went over the top were volunteers of 1914, including Pals battalions made up of friends, relatives and workmates serving side by side. This was their first experience of a major action in the largest attack the British Army had yet conducted.

Where the Somme Guns Fell Silent, the Crops Now Grow On the first day of the Somme offensive, British forces suffered nearly 60,000 casualties-including over 19,000 dead-making it the bloodiest day in their military history. The offensive's bombardments on the ridges were so heavy that correspondent John Masefield said that 'no bit of dust was without a man in it.’ After the Great War, the Somme's fields were thought to be so contaminated that nothing would ever grow there again.

This is the story of the first day of the Somme Offensive, 1 July 1916 - the single bloodiest day in British military history. 57,000 British soldiers became casualties, most within a few hours of the initial attack. The offensive was part of a doomed attempt to break the deadlock of trench warfare. But behind the myths lies the story of an elaborately-planned battle, fought against a determined and experienced German enemy, and a struggle that was seen at the time as both unavoidable and necess

Somme veterans return to the old battlefield in 1961, remembering what occurred there 50 years earlier. They recall that fateful moment at 7.30am on 1 July 1916 when they clamoured from their trenches and walked into the withering German machine gun fire. By that evening 19,240 of their comrades had been killed, 35,493 wounded and 2,152 missing or prisoners of war. ‘All I could see was men lying dead, men screaming, men on the barbed wire,’ remembered veteran Donald Murray. ‘No more Sommes’ beca
