I grew up near the Somme (Oise) 25 years ago our schoolteachers always emphasized the importance of this battle and I had at least two trips in the Peronne museum before junior high. We were young (7,8,9 years of age) but we would never forget how so many people (especially British soldiers) were thrown into that meat grinders. Even unruly kids fell silent when they were told about the Somme. Glad you made a video about this horrendous episode. WW1 is a big deal in the memories of people from Northern France, even though all vets passed away.

The Battle of Deville Wood was the bloodiest day in South African military history. 2,536 men out of around 3500 men were killed in six days of bloody fighting. The South Africans refused to surrender. In the Battle of Fromelles, after intense fighting, of the 7,000+ BEF casualties, 5250+ losses were incurred by the 5th Australian Division alone. It is a shame that Australia, Soutrh Africa, New Zealand, Canada, etc. are overlooked in the battle. The sacrifices of all those men should not be forgotten and to be swept under the carpet of History.

I mean no disrespect to the Commonwealth troops in WW1, but it is a matter a scale. Anzac and South African troop were too few, compared to British and French division, to warrant visibility outside of small scale operation. Even indian and Canadina troops, that were much more numerous, are generally overlooked and amalgamed into the BEF, as it was how they operated. It is the same way as free french force are overlooked in WW2, because no matter their bravery, they represent a too small portion of the frontline troop to warrant more recognition.

A really good video! One small nit-pick - a lot of people get this wrong due to WWI stereotypes - is that the battlefield of the Somme, on 1 July 1916 in particular, was actually quite intact: green grass, trees, hedges, farmers fields, farm buildings etc and the weather was a scorching bright summer's day. We tend to ascribe the stereotype of the Ypres battlefield in Autumn and Winter, particularly 3rd Ypres 1917, to what all World War One to look like: a churned up muddy quagmire full of lake-sized shellholes, impossible to walk nevermind fight..etc. The Somme region was quite a dry chalky region (Picardy) and partly the reason it was chosen as the zone of the offensive. True, by the battles end in November the land was churned up badly and Autumn rain turned it to mud but most of the Somme was fought in decent summer conditions (if you can ever describe a battlefield as such?!). But a good informative and well-illustrated video nonetheless!

Thank you, Griffin Johnson, for making a video on the *Battle of Somme* as I had been recommending it for a long time! A small suggestion that I have is that I would really appreciate it if you created a video on the *Battle of Passchendaele.*

I heard the Essandoh theme music and was like Hmmm…. i’m glad it’s getting some love and some advertisement. I hope a lot of people start to play it more. If they continue and make another one like they’ve done with Tannenburg and we’re done I would love to see them cover the Somme honestly since they haven’t done an English versus German environment yet

I'm glad that Haig has been treated fairly by another great presentation here. Furthermore he did a lot of work during and after the war to support his men and veterans. I think it has to kept in mind that technological development required new tactics and, weapons and thinking, all of which had to be learnt.

If I recall correctly, I believe that around 60% of all modern day VA claims are hearing related. That must be tame compared to the Somme. If there were any tunneling efforts by the Entente on the scale of what was seen at the Battle of Messines, then I can't imagine anyone within a particular radius having their hearing survive the battle.

My 2nd Great Granduncle was wounded at Gueudecourt, Somme in 1916, He was shot in his right arm, he fought again at Monchy-le-Preux in 1917 where he was shot in his right arm again, in the back, and had recieved shrapnel wounds. He survived the war and died age 93.

@@THEDAVILAK1 They’re pretty minor, and might be outdated since I haven’t played in a few months, but I remember there being some visibility issues, and hit registration being very inconsistent. I’m not sure if they were bugs or intentional. I do still love the game, though, and I’m considering redownloading it because of the mountaineering event.
