The Battle of the Somme has become a byword for sacrifice and senseless slaughter. This largely stems from the events of 1 July 1916, the first day of the battle which cost the British Army over 19,000 dead and nearly another 40,000 wounded, captured and missing, the bloodiest day in the Army's history.Yet the battle continued for four and a half months and a century of research suggests a far more nuanced picture. It had a searing impact on the British mindset that still resonates over a century after it occurred.
The Somme also saw the very first use of tanks in battle, at Flers-Courcelette on 15 September 1916, an event that changed the course of warfare forever.Moreover, there are now commentators who believe the Somme was a victory, albeit an expensive Britain was not fighting alone and the French contribution, often overlooked, was clearly very significant.
