Down to the Somme and the Great War Campaign
The account follows a British unit moving from St Omer to Calais training and a long march toward the Somme. It covers Major Gilday’s simplified medical system, the safety first battalion, and the dramatic Albert and Courcelette period with sights of observation balloons, debris filled trenches, and the odyssey through Porlères.
