Dallas and Jeremiah - The Battle of the Somme

  

The Battle of the Somme was a battle which was fought in France near the Somme river. This is where the lost generation of Britain died. This war occurred between 1st of July 1916 and 18th of November 1916 (World War 1). During those days the soldiers had to dig out trenches as a way to protect themselves from enemy fire. Although soldiers could not get shot at, the trenches became damp during winter and the fields where the men battled were also muddy. This caused the war to be postponed. The war was set to resume but the Germans retreated. On the presentation we were asked to answer questions backed up by evidence that can be found in the text. This activity has relates to our current inquiry topic which is peace. This war ended with quite a bit of casualties and people were not informed about what was happening during this period of time. For this activity I have worked with Dallas. Next time I do a collaborative challenge I will make sure Dallas contributes more.
