Battle of the Somme (jul 1, 1916 – nov 18, 1916)

Description:

The Allied forces wanted to quicken their victory by taking by parts of the Western Fronts. The AIF was part of the assault (ANZAC corps, a combined Australian/New Zealand army). Three million men fought in the battle, one million were injured or died : it is one of the bloodiest battle in history.
