The Battle of the Somme was the costliest conflict of the First World War. It is also one of the bloodiest in human history, with over 1 million lives lost. And it is important to remember that each one of those lives left friends and family behind. In this day-by-day commemorative journal, 141 of those soldiers have been chosen and their stories described, one for each day of the battle. The poignancy of their personal tragedies reminds us of the great sacrifices made by ordinary men for our future freedom.
