about: This battle was the first British Offensive of the First World War to which cameramen were given access in order to film the front-line action as it took place. The resulting 80-minute film, shot by G.H. Mailins and J.B. McDowell and released in Britain in 1916, made an enormous impression on the public and was seen by at least half the population. In recognition of the film's importance as a documentary record, The Battle of the Somme has recently been inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World register and re-released on DVD.

Ordering this also includes immediate download of the album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.
