Their names liveth forevermore. Have just returned from a tour of Normandy and the Somme. If anyone gets the chance, I recommend a visit to the memorial at Thiepval, where a staggering 73,357 missing men are listed on the biggest memorial to the missing and a very sobering sight. Thanks for a great video.

alot of this video is staged, as was a majority of the somme film, it was a large PR exercise by the government to hide the truth from the public to prevent a rebellion. like when they climb up the bank, thats completely staged it could've been filmed at anytime, its been proven that it was faked and if you dont believe me then think about how the cameraman would be in the position to film that? it's incredible how many people lost their lives and the government lied, sickening.

Thank you for this.
What a shitty thing. The French suffered terribly - their country blown to bits.
Saying that doesn't mean that I don't acknowledge the British losses. 20,000 dead in one day is hard to comprehend. It takes the breath out of me.
That a young man can struggle his entire life, to grow, to learn, to live, yet it all comes down to a bullet, a bomb, or a sniff of gas.
What a waste.
My heart aches for those who gave it all.

Great video. The footage is of excellent quality and you have done your research on this. It's good to know that some young people today still respect those brave souls who died for their respective countries.
As war veterans are known to say, the real heroes are the ones who don't come back home.
