Original World War I RPPC of a field full of dead soldiers from the battle at the Somme. The Somme Offensive, took place during the First World War between 1 July and 18 November, 1916. The battle consisted of an offensive by the British and French armies against the German Army, which since invading France in August 1914 had occupied large areas of that country. One of the largest battles of the First World War, by the time fighting had petered out in late autumn 1916 more than 1.5 million casualties had been suffered by the forces involved. It is understood to have been one of the bloodiest military operations ever recorded.
