Forget the French surrender monkey nonsense of some bush-brained Americans.
The French had taken massive casualties at Verdun but were possibly on the point of collapse or mutiny.
The Somme was partly to relieve pressure on the French at Verdun and also to attempt a breakthrough in the German lines.
The Allies bombarded German trenches for seven days and then sent 100,000 men over the top to attack the German lines.
The day was a disaster for the British. The Germans weathered the artillery fire in deep trenches and came up fighting. As the British soldiers advanced, they were mown down by machine gun and rifle fire. In total, 19,240 British soldiers lost their lives(with about 60,000 overall casualties). It was the bloodiest day in the history of the British army. The French had more success and inflicted heavy losses on the Germans. In spite of heavy British losses, Souglas Haig, the British general agreed to continue the attack.
The British troops consisted of British, Irish, Newfoundlanders, South Africans and Indians. The battle dragged on for five months and a million dead or wounded were suffered by the British, French and German armies.
