Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Battle of the Somme

The first day of the Somme remains the bloodiest day in British military history, with nearly 60,000 casualties. Over 140 days, the Allies advanced just six miles at a cost of over one million casualties on both sides. The battle saw the first use of tanks in warfare and came to symbolize the horrific futility of trench warfare on the Western Front.

💡 Le saviez-vous ?

Tanks were first used at the Somme, but the initial models were so unreliable that of the 49 deployed, only 32 reached the start line and most broke down during the advance.
