In one day, on July 1, 1916, the British Army alone lost 19,240 dead, 35,493 wounded, 2,152 missing and 585 prisoners for a total loss of 57,470. That was the first day of the Battle of the Somme, a battle than would eventually see over 300,000 deaths and 1.2 million casualties on all sides.

It’s been a LOOONG time since I listened to “Last Post” in its entirety, as I usually have to turn it off lest I am reduced to tears.
This time, I was able to (temporarily) separate it from my heart. Thank you.
