The Battle of Verdun, the Somme, and Ypres were all World War I battles with the French fighting the Germans.
In France, along the western front at a place called Somme. Near the French river Somme.
420,000 british men were killed at the battle of the somme
In 1914: Marne (Aug), 1st Ypres. In 1915: Gallipoli(Feb), 2nd Ypres, Tannenberg (Tannenburg). In 1916: Verdun (Feb-Dec), Jutland (April), Somme (June), Cambrai (Dec). In 1917: 3rd Ypres (Passchendaele) (June). I would also say that 1918 on the western front was massive as well, some incredible battles were fought, sacrificed and won there.
Ypres (Belgium) to the Somme (France) is approx 150 to 180km by road depending on route. The drive is around 2 hours. Somewhat more in a ww1 tank. As the crow flies about 120-130km.
