Riassunto

The Battle of the Somme was not only the costliest battle of World War I, but one of the bloodiest in human history, with more than a million lives lost. Each of those lives was special. In this day-by-day commemorative journal, 141 of those soldiers have been chosen, and the stories behind them described, one for each day of the battle. The poignancy of their personal tragedies will remind us of the great sacrifices made by ordinary men for our future freedom.
