On a summer's day on the Somme in 1916, one brave battalion, The Kensingtons, lost half its men in less than an hour, cut to pieces by enemy artillery. The Kensingtons, guardians of the right flank on the battlefront at Gommecourt, were ordered to march on the enemy without proper preparation in a move later condemned as foolhardy and suicidal.
