The story of WW1 in 1916 told through archive interviews with those who were there.

Voices of the First World War has tracked the history of the war year by year over the past four years, through interviews in the archives of the BBC and the Imperial War Museum. In a special compilation of programmes covering some of the events of 1916, we hear from those who experienced the battles whose names are now seared into the national consciousness, including Verdun, Jutland, and the Somme.
