1916 was the year of "blood." It was the start of the war of attrition, of endless slaughter, that epitomized the First World War. In the two major battles that were fought in 1916, at Verdun and the Somme, more than 2,200,000 soldiers of all nationalities were killed, wounded or listed as missing.
The Battle of the Somme was the first major British offensive of the war. It was Britain's chance to teach the Germans that it was unwise to challenge the mighty British Empire. In theory, the British attack at the
Somme was to be a simple matter of marching over the German positions and continuing the advance all the way to Berlin. The initial breakthrough would be achieved by shelling the extensive German trench systems into oblivion. 120,000 enthusiastic British troops, including 790 Newfoundlanders, would then walk through the shattered German defences virtually unscathed.
