19,240 British Soldiers Died on the First Day of One Battle in World War 1
Instead of quotes this week, I’m highlighting facts about WWI, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the end of the war on November 11, 1918. I know I usually do inspiring quotes, but I feel it is important to remember history.
During the Battle of Somme, French and British forces faced the Germans. On the first day, the British suffered 57,470 casualties, and 19,240 deaths.
