The Battle of the Somme was one of the bloodiest battles in human history. Over the course of five months, from July to November 1916, more than one million men were killed or wounded. The battle was fought in the trenches of northern France, and the conditions were horrific. The mud was so thick and deep that men and horses were often bogged down and drowned. The constant shelling and gunfire made it impossible to sleep or rest. And the rats were so numerous that they could be seen crawling over the dead bodies of soldiers.
