A joint operation between Britain and France in 1916, the battle of the Somme was an attempt to dent Germany's military strength. This is a narrative of the last spell of front-line duty performed by the 2/West Yorkshires. From the panic of crossing no-man's-land, to the drudgery of trench life, it creates a picture of this horrific conflict.
