Why was the casualties so high in the battle of the somme?
Well there are several different reasons: 1. General Haig didn't really know what was happening down at the front line so he made foolish decisons like walking straight across no mans land. 2. The conditions of the trenches were really bad. They were muddy, dirty, smelly and most of all filled with disease. 3. General Haig didn't value the soldiers lives and said that he expected most of them to die anyway. 4. On the first day of the battle, the conditions were very bad, as it rained and became muddier and muddier. 5. The German's could see everything the British were doing so suprise attacks did not work.
