This question is not answerable.
You need to supply what country he was from, what area of that country, if possible the regiment. Simmonds is a fairly common name and over 20,000 soldiers died in one day of fighting. As you can see, trying to track 1 person without information to narrow the search would be virtually impossible.
people died
420,000 british men were killed at the battle of the somme
first day 57000 were killed
it could have been avoided because if the battle of Verdun had not of started there would not of been the battle of somme. the somme was ment to be a distraction for the Germans to help the french recover there wounded men. If the leaders were beter not as mutch men would of died
It was a disaster...over 1,000,000 soldiers died in it...

Canadian casualties at the Somme were about 24,000 of which 7,900 were killed; plus another 255 dead from Newfoundland.(Newfoundland was not part of Canada in 1916)
Not by a long shot. The casualties on each side of the battle of Iwo Jima were only around 25,000 each. The worst battle in history is debatably the battle of the Somme, where 20,000 British soldiers died on the very first day of battle. Between July and November of 1916, approximately 1 million soldiers total died at the Somme.
Oliver Simmonds died on 1985-07-26.
