Following such was a reviewal noting that the British companies present moved at full-kit due to the overconfidence of general field NCO's to the German Location after witnessing such a bombardment upon their location. [55][54] Philpott argues that the German army was exhausted by the end of 1916, with loss of morale and the cumulative effects of attrition and frequent defeats causing it to collapse in 1918, a process which began on the Somme, echoing Churchill's argument that the German soldiery was never the same again.

The attack was made by five divisions of the French Sixth Army on the east side of the Somme, eleven British divisions of the Fourth Army north of the Somme to Serre and two divisions of the Third Army opposite Gommecourt, against the German Second Army of General Fritz von Below. Falkenhayn chose to attack towards Verdun to take the Meuse heights and make Verdun untenable. [15], The Brusilov Offensive (4 June – 20 September) on the Eastern Front absorbed the extra forces that had been requested on 2 June by Fritz von Below, commanding the German Second Army, for a spoiling attack on the Somme.

Debate continues over the necessity, significance and effect of the battle. The Battle of Fromelles had inflicted some losses on the German defenders but gained no ground and deflected few German troops bound for the Somme. [19], Despite considerable debate among German staff officers, Erich von Falkenhayn continued the policy of unyielding defence in 1916.
Each took on temporarily the identity of a British soldier who died on the first day of the Somme, and handed out information cards about that soldier.

Next day the Fourth Army ceased offensive operations, except for small attacks intended to improve positions and divert German attention from attacks being made by the Reserve/Fifth Army. A school of thought holds that the Battle of the Somme placed unprecedented strain on the German army and that after the battle it was unable to replace casualties like-for-like, which reduced it to a militia.
[51] The European powers had begun the war with trained armies of regulars and reservists, which were wasting assets. The attack was the debut of the Australian Imperial Force on the Western Front and, according to McMullin, "the worst 24 hours in Australia's entire history". The second position was beyond the range of Allied field artillery, to force an attacker to stop and move field artillery forward before assaulting the position. Simultaneous offensives on the Eastern Front by the Russian army, on the Italian Front by the Italian army and on the Western Front by the Franco-British armies were to be carried out to deny time for the Central Powers to move troops between fronts during lulls. The front trenches were on a forward slope, lined by white chalk from the subsoil and easily seen by ground observers. Comment êtes-vous d'obtenir le résultat de votre fonction?

Winston Churchill had objected to the way the battle was being fought in August 1916 and Prime Minister David Lloyd George, criticised attrition warfare frequently and condemned the battle in his post-war memoirs. Later in the year, the Franco-British were able to attack on the Somme and at Verdun sequentially and the French recovered much of the ground lost on the east bank of the Meuse in October and December. German artillery was organised in a series of Sperrfeuerstreifen (barrage sectors); each officer was expected to know the batteries covering his section of the front line and the batteries ready to engage fleeting targets. A further retirement to the Hindenburg Line (Siegfriedstellung) in Operation Alberich began on 16 March 1917, despite the new line being unfinished and poorly sited in some places.

[33], In the Battle of Ginchy the 16th Division captured the German-held village. Communication trenches ran back to the reserve line, renamed the second position, which was as well-built and wired as the first position. Somme.
