Why 1916 Was Called ‘A Descent Into Hell’ In WWI | Great War In Numbers | War Stories
In the First World War, 1916 is the year of Verdun and the killing fields of the Somme, in which millions will die. As a result it is understandable why this year of all others in WWI has been called the descent into hell…
