The Battle of the Somme in raps and poems

On Saturday it will be 99 years since the end of WWI, arguably the most bloody conflict in human history. This term Form 3 have been studying the war's causes, conditions and consequences. 

One of the most horrific chapters of this conflict was the Battle of The Somme. A major offensive in 1916 by the British and French forces against the German army in northern France. The conditions and death-toll of this battle were horrifying and the first day of the battle remains the worst day in British military history.

Allow F3 to tell you more through the art of rap and poems...
