QUOTE: I am afraid your figures are wrong. On the first day when the butcher Haig sent in the troops on the Somme - 60,000 died. A huge loss of life when one thinks that a General can use men as cannon fodder. Few people have ever justified ANY reason he gave and, in my view, it was slaughter of a magnitude never before seen.
Tripe of the highest order. But then facts never got in the way of a good story, did they?
