Engage The Battle of the Somme, fought in northern France, was one of the bloodiest of World War One. For five months the British and French armies engaged the Germans in a brutal battle of attrition on a 15-mile front. Events that happened around the UK on 1st July 2016 remembered the first day of the battle.
