Heroes of the Somme

YESTERDAY, 8.00PM

 This new documentary revisits one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War, during which 60,000 British, 200,000 French and 500,000 German troops lost their lives. Using archive footage from the Western Front and interviews with soldiers’ families, the film tells the remarkable stories of seven of the men who became heroes in 1916 and received the Victoria Cross, Britain’s most prized military medal.
