On July 1st. 100 years ago the long-awaited "Big Push" began. It was the beginning of the Somme Offensive and the attempt to crack open the Western Front of World War I.
120,000 troops of the British Expeditionary Force came out of their trenches and marched across no-mans land into the hail of machine gun and rifle fire. By days end 19,240 British men lay dead and 38,231 more were wounded or captured. The war dragged on!........Medicineman!
My blog will attempt to be a source of accurate information on any subject put forward. My approach to any question will come from the conservative, freedom loving,and Christian. My background includes history, medicine and military. Welcome!
