Could someone please tell me about the Battle of the Somme. What happened, where did it take place etc. Reply as soon as possible.

I need real help. i am so stuck.

HELP!!!

[Mr Field]

There's no need to request a reply as soon as possible. It isn't as if we will deliberately take out time replying

To find out about the Battle of the Somme you need to do an internet search for 'Battle of the Somme'. If you do this, you get:

http://www.spartacus...uk/FWWsomme.htm
http://www.firstworl...ttles/somme.htm
http://www.cdli.ca/beaumont/somme.htm
http://www.bbc.co.uk...tle_somme.shtml

All these links, while quite detailed and complicated, will give you lots of information to look through and do your own work

Do post again if you need any further help.

[Mrs Faithorn]

I'm a bit surprised you couldn't find what you wanted on Mr Clare's site, but ....

I think that this is probably the page you were looking for and there are links to other sites/more info. on the right hand side of that page.

Does that help? If not, then do post again.
