Standard treatment of the days leading up to the battle of the Somme...July 1, 1916...the day 60,000 British soldiers took one for the team.
All the usual types were included...the weasel, the coward, the closet drunk, the queen...and an assortment of good men doomed to fail marching into machine guns. This was billed as the war to end all wars. Good thing it worked. Days like that one were right nasty.
