The Day Britain Lost 19,000 Men

The Day Britain Lost 19,000 Men

On July 1, 1916, the First day of the Battle of the Somme became the bloodiest day in the history of the British Army. After a week-long artillery bombardment, British forces advanced across No Man's Land, expecting the German defenses to be shattered.

Instead, many German bunkers and machine-gun positions had survived. By the end of the first day, the British Army had suffered about 57,000 casualties, including more than 19,000 killed—a devastating loss that shaped the course of World War I.

Discover the story behind one of history's most tragic battles and why the Somme remains a symbol of the horrors of trench warfare.
