Amidst the ruins of war, the map shows the approximate gains made during the Somme Offensive in 1916, particularly on Thiepval Ridge. The images bear witness to the human cost of this great conflict: pipers leading soldiers into battle at Longueval on July 14, 1916; Tommy showing compassion to a wounded German prisoner; "super-dreadnaught" projectiles prepared for the offensive; wounded prisoners receiving water and having their names taken; an infantry attack at Ovillers during the Battle of the Somme in July 1916; and King George V visiting St. Georges Hill near Fricourt on August 10, 1916. Despite the horrors of war, these moments capture the resilience and humanity that endured amidst the chaos.
