Legacy of the Somme by Gerald Gliddon

The Battle of the Somme is widely regarded as one of the bloodiest and most controversial land battles ever fought. The first British troops went over the top on July 1st 1916 and by the day's end some 19,000 had been killed in the greatest one-day loss the British Army has ever known. This notoriety has ensured that Somme and its many fallen warriors live on in countless books, plays and films. The purpose of the book is to set on record, in as comprehensive a listing as possible, much of what has been written, filmed or sound-recorded in the English language about the Battle since 1916, including fiction and poetry.
