Remember the Somme

In 1916, ninety-one years ago, the Battle of the Somme began. The bloodiest battle in British history, 19,240 men were killed on the first day alone out of a total of 419,654 casualties to the British Empire forces over the five and a half months of the battle.

A moment of silence for those brave men.
