About this book

Philip Gibbs, an accredited correspondent with the British armies, gathered the newspaper articles he wrote day by day over more than three months from 1 July 1916 into this book on the Somme fighting. Thirty-nine chapters name the places and units involved: the London men at Gommecourt, the Scots at Longueval, the Australians at Mouquet Farm, the Irish at Ginchy, the Canadians at Courcelette and the first tanks. The last chapter gives the German verdict on the battles.
