Product Description

These documents graphically describe how and why the Somme offensive failed, illustrated by the attack on the village of Serre on 1st July 1916, as seen by all levels of command. Each level is represented, from the attestation papers and the casualty report of a private soldier wounded in battle, to Douglas Haig's diary entry for that day. The pack also includes a full-colour trench map and early recruiting poster. This new edition has been expanded to include a panoramic photograph of the battleground and a new illustrated introduction. Teachers' notes and worksheets for school use are also available.
