None the less I had seen something that night which overawed me. It was all in the day’s work - an exhausted division returning from the Somme Offensive - but for me it was as though I had watched an army of ghosts. It was as though I had seen the war as it might be envisioned by the mind of some epic poet a hundred years hence.” - Siegfried Sassoon

I’ve been reading about the Battle of the Somme non stop for about three days now for a presentation, and it’s starting to get prettyyyyy depressing.
