The greatest battle the British Army has ever fought began on 1st July1916. Using graphics, powerful stills and remarkable archive footage, this programme presents an in-depth treatment of The Somme: the strategic and tactical planning and preparation; the courage of the actual battle, particularly the disastrous first day where 60,000 men lost their lives, mercilessly mown down by the German machine guns.
