There were more than 400,000 British, 200,000 French, and 500,000 German casualties during the fighting. From the terrible panic of crossing noman'sland, to the squalid drudgery of trench life, Rogerson creates a full and evocative picture of this horrific conflict.

About this product

Product Information

A joint operation between Britain and France in 1916, the battle of the Somme was an attempt to gain territory and dent Germany's military strength. By the end of the action, very little ground had been won: the Allied Forces had made just twelve kilometers. For this slight gain, a more than a million lives were lost. There were more than 400,000 British, 200,000 French, and 500,000 German casualties during the fighting. Twelve Days is a narrative of the last spell of front-line duty performed by the 2/West Yorkshires. Written by Sidney Rogerson, a young officer in B' Company, it gives an extraordinarily honest account of twelve days during the battle of the Somme. From the terrible panic of crossing no-man's-land, to the squalid drudgery of trench life, Rogerson creates a full and evocative picture of this horrific conflict.

    Authentic and true story-telling

    A slim volume, Rogerson's descriptive writing is to the point and conveys to the reader a really good picture of what he is experiencing. It is uncluttered with any distorted historic opinion that can accompany some more academic and research orientated books on the subject. Highly recommended to any student of WW1 and the latter days of the Somme in particular. If you want to know what it was like for the men in the front line, read this book.
