On the morning of 1st July 1916 120,000 men left their trenches in a concerted assault against heavily defended German positions on the Somme Battlefields in France.

Despite intense artillery bombardments and thorough preparation, the day was largely a disaster, with close to 60,000 men becoming casualties. This video will explore just one battalion that day, the famous 1st Lancashire Fusiliers who assaulted the fortified village of Beaumont Hamel.
