  • WW1 Battle of the Somme 1916 (The Pals Battalions) Taken from (The First World ) A phenomenon of the First World War, Britain's so-called Pals' Battalions arose purely from the country's unsatiated requirement for men to despatch to the various British battlefronts around the globe. Britain was alone among the major European powers in 1914 in not having in place - or rapidly adopting - a system of conscription. Not only was popular sentiment against mandatory military service, mainstream political opinion was yet to conclude the inadequacy of a purely voluntary system of recruitment (advocated by leading figures such as Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey). Various methods were adopted as a means of encouraging men to enlist with the armed services during the war's early years, including the 1915 Derby Scheme; while successful in their own limited way none could ensure a constant supply of human material. Consequently conscription was finally embraced in January 1916 (and was progressively extended until, in April 1918, men aged from 18 to 51 were liable to be called up). Before conscription however; before the Derby Scheme; indeed in the first weeks of the war in August 1914 Lord Derby encouraged the notion (initially suggested by Sir Henry Rawlinson) of encouraging whole towns and villages to sign up with the promise that they should also serve together: in short, sanctioning the establishment of Pals' (or Chums') Battalions. Wildly popular from the outset - and boosted by a highly publicised poster campaign led by ...

  • The battle of the Somme The Battle of the Somme July 1st 1916-18 November 1916. The battle was planned on December 5th 1915 by the French commander general Joffre and was intended as a joint French-British attack. But the battle of Verdun drastically reduced the amount of French troops available for the offensive so about 80% of the troops used would be British. General Haig the British commander would have preferred to attack in Flanders assisted by a landing on the Belgian coast. Eventually at a conference on February the 14th 1916 an agreement was reached by which Haig accepted Joffre's plane for the Somme offensive even though the Somme sector was thought to have the strongest defences on the western front. The attack was preceded by an eight-day artillery bombardment of the German lines, beginning on Saturday 24 June. The idea was that the bombardment would destroy all forward German defences, including the barbed wire unfortunately this did not happen. Instead of concentrating the artillery on several places to create a breach in the defences it was spread evenly across the front so the fire was dispersed and many strong points and machine gun posts were never touched added to this a large part of the heavy guns were of obsolete pattern with poor range plus a lot of the ammunition were duds and of the wrong type to destroy bunkers and wire. The attack began at 07:30 on 1 July with the detonation of a series of 17 mines. One of which the Hawthorn Crater which is shown in the video just ...

  • The Battle of the Somme film A film depicting the Somme battle cut and edited by myself compiled from film from the Imperial War Museum archives. The infantry at the beginning are soldiers of the 1st Battalion, The Lancashire Fusiliers. Having fixed bayonets they move into position prior to the attack on Beaumont-Hamel 1 July. The men resting in the lane are two companies and a Stokes Mortar team from 1st Battalion, the Lancashire Fusiliers forming up for the assault in a sunken lane opposite Hawthorn Ridge. Twenty minutes after this film was shot they attacked under heavy machine gun fire and only 50 of them reached the low bank beyond the lane. Thanks. Please leave comments
