Results of British mines and guns on the Somme

Officers examining the damage caused by an explosion of a British mine underneath the enemies position during the Battle of the Somme. Intended to be a decisive breakthrough, the Battle of the Somme instead became a futile and indiscriminate slaughter, with General Haigs tactics remaining controversial even today. The four and a half month campaign eventually gave way to a stalemate and by mid-November the offensive was over. The British forces were decimated with 420, 000 casualties, among them many of the new voluntary battalions. Date: 1916
