Soldiers Tell Their Stories Of The Somme In WWI | Great Battles Of The Great War | War Stories
The quiet fields of the Somme in Northern France lie silent now. But over 100 years ago a series of cataclysmic events put it at the centre of one of the fiercest battles the world has ever seen. The bloodiest campaign in British military history, it began in July 1916 and would end four months later with men bogged down in a sea of mud. In this episode we hear from the letters of the men who were there and see just what it was like.
