The Battle of Somme was a four-month battle from July to November during World War I. The battle was fought in an Allied Command effort to relieve French forces at Verdun by attacking the Germans from the north. Casualty figures were high, with the British losing 420,000, the French 200,000 and the Germans nearly 500,000 men.
