The Battle of the Somme started on July 1st 1916 and continued until November 1916. For many people this was the battle that symbolised the horrors of warfare in World War One. This one battle had a marked effect on overall casualty figures and seemed to epitomise the futility of trench warfare. Much criticism was levelled at the British Commander Haig based on the appaling casualty figures suffered by the British and the French. By the end of the battle, the British Army had suffered 420,000 casualties including nearly 60,000 on the first day alone. The French lost 200,000 men and the Germans nearly 500,000. If you collect all 12 models in Civilians at War, Heroes, Leaders and Special Forces ranges (released July ‘06 to June ‘07) you can send off for your free replica Campaign Medal. Full details inside each pack.
