The 'Iron harvest' of the Somme region continues to turn up many instances of unexploded ordnance every year. There are still hundreds of thousands of items of mu*****ns lying just below the surface of the soil, or above it.

Ploughing season for the local farmers is a particularly hazardous time of the year.

On this day, we remember.

The first day of the Battle of the Somme, which took place on 1 July 1916, remains the bloodiest single day in the history of the British Army. Intended as a decisive joint Allied breakthrough with the French, the opening day instead resulted in an unprecedented disaster, yielding 57,470 British casualties, including 19,240 fatalities, for a gain of just three square miles of territory.
