Narrator Paul Rogers
The day was 1 July 1916: by an odd coincidence the exact halfway point of the First World War. At 7.30 am the bombardment of the German front-line positions suddenly stopped. In the silence and sunshine of a beautiful summer morning, skylarks were heard singing. A few seconds later the Battle of the Somme began.
Sixty years later, some of the survivors of the Somme look back: they are men mostly now in their 80s and their recollections have been recorded specially for this commemorative programme by MARTIN MIDDLEBROOK , author of The First Day on the Somme, who has also written the linking narration.
