Missed this sooner, probably due to our own 4th of July holiday and festivities. Good to remember past battles, the bravery and loss. Also to try and learn from any mistakes or just not good tactics.
Amazing how many were lost on the first day of that battle.

It's not just historical, many, many families are still affected by those losses. A hundred years isn't very long.

The Great War by Joe Sacco tells the story of the Battle of the Somme in a 24 foot long pictograph.
