The Somme was a difficult place to attack because the area was very hilly up towards Belgium way. Basically, the Germans held the higher ground, and the British the lower. The Germans had been settled into this trench for 2 years already and had been reinforcing the wire in front of the trench, setting up multiple machine guns, digging dug-outs 40ft under ground. So whenever the British went over the top, the British and French had to get up the hill and were shot down, if they were lucky enough to reach the enemy's trench, it would be difficult to get through the barbed wire and make themselves an easy target. Also, whenever the British bombarded the German trenches with shells, etc, the Gemans hid in their dug-puts safely, without hardly anyone dying! The weather meant that shell holes on the journey up to the German trench would fill with water and turn into mud, also making it harder for the British. Hope this helps!

The Somme. (Northern France; it was a river)
The Allies failed to see that moving an army of one million men into position and then waiting another week to bring its artillery into place was not well disguised, thus the Battle of Somme to commence as a surprise attack was a failure.
Its a place on the Somme battle front. Go there.
