To know love, you must know life And to know life you must know horror, These stories touch the corners, the trails, And the alleyways that lead into the dark And back into the light. Whimsical, touching, heart wrenching, Suspenseful and downright scary at times, So, sit back in your easy chair, adjust your glasses And Have fun on the trails.
Set out topographically, it covers everything from the famous battle sites of High Wood and Mametz Wood to obscure villages on the outlying flanks. The British first began to take the Somme sector over from the French Army in June 1915. From this time onwards they built up a very close bond with the local population, many of whom continued to live in local villages close to the front line. The author draws on the latest research and analysis, as well as the testimony of those who took part, to present all aspects of a battle that was to become a symbol of the horrors of the Great War.
