Show Notes
In the opening months of World War One war came to the Somme departement of France as the Allies and the Germans sought to outflank each other during the "Race to the Sea." The hasty trench lines scratched out in autumn 1914 would largely be the same front line that would be assaulted on July 1st, 1916.
