A battle that was worth fighting. The sacrifice led to the defeat of Germany.
At this moment 103 years ago, the British Fourth Army went over the top on the Somme, by the end of the day it had taken 57,740 casualties, including 19,240 dead. This picture was taken this month in the shadow of the Thiepval Memorial. #WeWillRememberThem @WW1_Educationpic.twitter.com/en8pbGM5KA

My grandad was at the Somme in the Sherwood Forresters - he was 16years old! He was one of the lucky ones. We must never forget.
